Her research interests are mainly focused on maternal, newborn and child health, the interprofessional education and collaborative practice for healthcare professionals, and innovations in healthcare professionals’ education using simulation-based education. For her doctoral studies, she developed a framework for capacity enhancement of nurse educators and preceptors to facilitate pediatric pain management competence acquisition by nursing students in Rwanda. It is believed that the developed framework is helpful in nursing education, nursing practice, and nursing research as it aligns with the need of improving the quality of care of children with pain, and it can be adapted to enhance the capacity of other health professionals than nurses who facilitate students learning in similar context.
