Profile
Bonny joined the School of Rehabilitation Science (SRS) in 1990, having worked previously as a clinical instructor with the Mohawk College Occupational Therapy Program. Her clinical background includes working with adults with physical health and mental health concerns, however, her primary clinical focus is in community practice. In 2003, Bonny returned to school part time to pursue her PhD in Educational Studies at the University of Western Ontario, with plans for completion by the end of 2006. Her working title for her dissertation is “The professional master's educated occupational therapist: The development of an emerging identity and profile.”
Bonny has been involved in two primary educational and research capacities over the years: One area involves students in the Occupational Therapy (OT) Program, in both the academic and practicum courses; and the other involves clinical educators who provide teaching and supervision to the students in the regional, national and international community. Her research focuses on the learning issues of the student, clinical educator, and the tutor, the latter being a unique educational role within a problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum.
