Dr Carrie Ritchie commenced work as a Senior Research Fellow with the Whiplash Research Unit within the Rehabilitation Sciences Program at RECOVER in 2011. She is working with Professor Michele Sterling on several projects including the derivation and validation of a clinical screening tool to assist with the prediction of recovery pathways following an acute whiplash injury. Carrie has a PhD in Exercise Physiology, and both practical and investigative experience in teaching and learning across the health sciences.
Carrie's academic and research interests include:
- Prognosis and treatment of whiplash associated disorders
- Exercise and physical activity to optimise well-being
- Student learning in the health sciences
