Dr. Lorelei Lingard Ph.D. is an internationally recognized researcher in the study of communication and collaboration on healthcare teams. She is Professor in the Department of Medicine, and Director of the Centre for Education Research & Innovation, both at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry at Western University.

With a Ph.D. in Rhetoric, Dr. Lingard brings a unique approach to the field. For almost 20 years, she has studied the communication practices of clinical teams, in order to support evidence-based educational initiatives to improve teamwork. In recent years, Lorelei has been using her research on teamwork to shift the discourse of ‘competence’ in medical education, so that we are paying attention to not only individual competence but also collective competence. In 2014, Dr. Lingard was awarded the prestigious appointment of Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, in recognition of the impact of her work on Canadian healthcare.
