Jayshiro Tashiro

Jayshiro Tashiro, PhD, BSN, RND is currently a Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). His research focuses on telehealth and disease management, the relationships between evidence-based learning and evidence-based practice in healthcare, and assessment of complex competencies within clinical simulations. Beginning in the mid-1990s, Tashiro led research teams in the development and evaluations of virtual clinical simulations that monitor users’ choices during treatment of complex patients within the simulations. The principal focus of these monitoring systems has been clinical judgment, with the software conducting automated analysis of choices made by the user while working within a simulation. Funding related to virtual learning environments has been over $10 Million since 1990. At UOIT, Tashiro teaches In the Health Information Management Program and is currently building and evaluating simulation-rich courses that promote interprofessional collaborative patient-centred care. Tashiro also helped establish and now is part of the Management Team for the Health Education Technology Research Unit at UOIT.
