Dr Allison Mandrusiak is a Lecturer in Physiotherapy (Cardiothoracics) at The University of Queensland, Australia. Allison infuses a breath of fresh air into learning about the lungs and puts a pulse into the heart of her courses, spring-cleaning this historically unpopular area of physiotherapy. Creating pop-up simulations is one of her specialities, converting classrooms into a range of clinical settings and ‘simulating on a shoestring’. Allison’s fresh approach has secured her a number of teaching awards, including UQ, national, and the inaugural U21 HSG Teaching Excellence Award.
