Dr. Demers is a mixed-methods researcher with over 10 years of evaluation experience. Her quantitative expertise lies in the application of advanced regression techniques such as hierarchical linear modeling and structural equation modeling, the development of valid and reliable survey instruments, the creation of observation and scoring rubrics, and best practices for estimating inter-rater reliability. Her qualitative expertise is focused on the collection and analysis of interview data, specifically the assessment of fidelity of implementation and participation in education interventions.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility
Through my role I strive to make medical education accessible to learners with a variety of needs - particularly those with neurodivergence. By creating education spaces that are accessible to more diverse groups of people we will increase the breadth of people who are able to become clinicians, which will in turn improve patient care.

Excellence in Education Scholarship Mentoring
Through my work as Director of the Education Evaluation Core I mentor faculty, fellows, residents and students who are interested in medical education research. Specifically, I provide support around hypothesis and research question development, study design, data collection and analysis, and preparing manuscripts for publication. I am always happy to meet with clinician educators at any level to discuss all things research related, on a regular or ad hoc basis.
