Teaching excellence has been acknowledged at the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health (SCS), with Ms Janeane Dart receiving a prestigious Dean’s Award for Teaching Excellence at the recent awards ceremony.


A senior lecturer in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food, and an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, Ms Dart is completing her PhD in professionalism in dietetic education across Australia and New Zealand.


“One of the highlights of my ten years at Monash has been reviewing and redesigning the dietetic curriculum,” Ms Dart said.  “I’ve taught across the program over the years but have more recently focussed my teaching in the first year of the BNutSc and the Masters of Dietetics.”

Ms Dart said she is invested and committed in developing the personal adeptness, professionalism and humanism of our graduates to ensure they are ready for practice in a complex and uncertain work environment.

“My clinical teaching speciality is gastroenterology and teaching dietetic education skills and person centred approaches to dietetic practice,” she said. 

“I aim to build safe yet challenging learning environments for learners where they are encouraged to expand and stretch themselves in developing a strong sense of self and professional practice.”

Ms Dart said she was both thrilled and humbled to receive the Award amongst such talent in our Faculty.

“I acknowledge that an Award such as this isn't possible without the support of an amazing team of colleagues, the team I work with, and the inspiration I get from my students wanting to inspire them to be the best health care professionals they can be,” Ms Dart said.
