Dr Bunmi S. Malau-Aduli is the Academic Lead for Assessment and Evaluation and Senior Lecturer in Medical Education at the College of Medicine and Dentistry, James Cook University. She has a background in scientific research, with a PhD in Reproductive Physiology. Her educational training and qualifications span across biological sciences, agricultural science, business administration, management and medical education. In recent years she has changed her focus to assessment and evaluation in medical education, and in 2011, she obtained a Graduate Certificate in University Learning and Teaching. In her current role at JCU, Dr Malau-Aduli leads the strategic development of assessment and program/impact evaluation across the three schools in the College (Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy) with a focus on the development of innovative approaches to curriculum delivery and the enhancement of assessment processes, comprising the improvement of the quality of assessment, development of resources, staff development, and an expanded and coordinated approach to program evaluation. She is also involved in teaching into the undergraduate and postgraduate medical programmes as well as the evaluation of GP Registrars’ training under the auspices of the Generalist Medical Training (GMT) Program. Dr Malau-Aduli also holds an Adjunct Senior Researcher position in the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology at the University of Tasmania, Hobart.
