Serious games in medical education; technology-rich learning environments; the roles of emotions and time in medical education; adaptive expertise in clinical reasoning; workplace-based health sciences education and approaches to conflict in different cultures.
Dr. Wiseman is a general internist and medical education scholar. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, a Core Member of the Institute of Health Sciences Education (IHSE), and Director of Education at the McGill Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive learning. He has served in multiple medical educational leadership roles at McGill as well as nationally and internationally with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada
He has developed multiple teaching innovations over the years, including a popular McGill course that uses the “Deteriorating Patient” low-cost simulation to prepare health sciences learners to stabilize sick patients during first on-call experiences and invented multiple clinical teaching methods that include the “Learning Triangle” method to make clinical reasoning visible, the “Problem List Activity” for creation of management plans for complex patients, the “Diagnostic Horse Shoe” method of the bedside exam and the “Justify/Interpret” approach to test selection and the “Short Conflict Manager”.
His current research focuses on serious games in health sciences education, satisficing rapid virtual simulations, technology-enhanced learning environments, hybrid and blended simulation-based education, and the roles of emotions and adaptive expertise in clinical reasoning.
Dr. Wiseman received four different educational awards over the years from the McGill Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Nationally, he was awarded the 2008 Canadian Association of Medical Education Certificate of Merit, the 2016 Canadian Society of Internal Medicine Osler Award and the Association of Faculties of Medicine of Canada Clinical Teacher award in 2024 in recognition of exceptional faculty who demonstrate vision, innovation and leadership in clinical teaching.
