Anique Atherley, MBBS, MPH

Assistant Professor, Academy for Teaching and Learning

Dr. Anique Atherley is a medical doctor from the south of Barbados. Anique completed medical training at the University of the West Indies (The UWI) and medical internship at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Barbados. She then went on to complete, with merit, a master’s degree in public health (epidemiology) from the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. During her internship, she sought out and met Dr. Charles G. Taylor, Jr. who opened her eyes to the field of medical education. With his guidance, she then took on a role as a Junior Research Fellow in Medical Education at The UWI and contributed to teaching undergraduate medical students research methods and other public health concepts. Her love for education started during medical school teaching her peers and preparing presentations; and blossomed when she had this teaching opportunity at The UWI. She also completed numerous online courses in health professions education and graduated in 2018 with a Postgraduate Diploma in University Teaching and Learning from The UWI, Cave Hill in Barbados. During her time at The UWI, she was the coordinator of the Medical Education Learning Community (MELC) at her institution and contributed to the creation of a career-advising symposium highly rated by medical students. Anique also contributes to the community and she is the co-founder of ‘Drops of Love’— an organization that offers public education regarding blood donation to increase voluntary donations in Barbados. Currently, she also offers research coaching to postgraduate students who may need guidance and support.

In 2017, Anique received the opportunity she had been searching for. After the passing of her beloved mentor Dr C. Taylor Jr, she knew she wanted to complete a doctorate in Medical Education and continue her academic journey as an early career medical educator. She was blessed to be chosen as the inaugural recipient of a Joint PhD scholarship from the School of Medicine at Western Sydney University (WSU) and School of Health Professions Education (SHE) at Maastricht University. She began her PhD trajectory in September 2017. Along this journey to becoming a medical education researcher, she gained experience facilitating problem-based learning sessions at WSU. To this day, she has published over 15 peer-reviewed articles and has conducted workshops and made presentations Internationally. Anique keenly remains involved with SHE through contributing to the Master in Health Professions Education programme. She also contributes to international medical education literature as she is a reviewer for international journals including Medical Education, Transfusion Medicine and Advances in Health Science Education among others.

 Currently, she serves as Assistant Professor in the Academy of Teaching and Learning at Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) in Barbados. She is excited to contribute to the vibrant department — Academy of Teaching and Learning at RUSM.
