Rebecca Edwards

Biography

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at The University of Glasgow, and then took a focus on research methods as I went forward with my MRes in Psychology at Manchester University. I am now a PhD student at Keele University, under the supervision of Dr Peter Yeates. Here, I will be investigating assessor variability in medical education, and the potential use of benchmarking videos within OSCE examinations to address the issue of assessor variability.
