Rebecca Featherston

Bec is a Research Fellow in the Department of Social Work at Monash University, Australia. Her current research investigates how cognitive and other biases can impact clinical reasoning, how these errors can alter decision-making outcomes in health and social service delivery, and, importantly, what strategies can mitigate their negative influence. Her broader research interests include areas of critical thinking and decision-making within human service systems, and particularly how theory and evidence can feed into interventions that improve real-life outcomes for human service users. Bec holds a PhD in Biosciences and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Melbourne.
