Biography
Biography
Patient-care focused optometrist and teaching clinician, with experience in transition to clinical care for undergraduate and postgraduate optometry students. A regular invited speaker for optometry conferences and webinars within Australia, Elisse combines decades of clinical experience (primarily in paediatric optometry) with a sound understanding of teaching and learning theory and evidence-based patient-centered care. She is responsible for delivering the optometry care for the Refugee Clinic, in collaboration with Dr Hessom Razavi's Lions Inreach Clinic, and provides care for patients in the Eye Health Centre of WA (myopia management, paediatric vision assessment and accommodation/convergence vision therapy).
In addition to teaching into the Doctor of Optometry course at UWA, Elisse co-chairs a Community of Practice with other optometry educators for paediatric optometry, and a cross-craft binocular vision discussion group.
Teaching Philosophy
Elisse places authentic student learning at the centre of her teaching philosophy. She strives to ensure that learning delivered through the course is in alignment with university, course and unit learning outcomes, and that assessments are designed to develop skills students will need in their profession. She aims to maximise student learning and engagement by delivering intentional, structured, learning opportunities such that students construct their own evidence based clinical models that can be applied and continually updated as life-long learners.
