Dr. Sherry Espin's current program of research seeks to theorize how professionals on the health care team interact with one another in the context of perceived errors of care in settings such as rehabilitation and chronic care, the intensive care unit, the operating room and the medical inpatient ward. She has worked on a research program examining interprofessional communication on health care teams in the context of the operating room and intensive care unit. This research has informed the development of patient safety initiatives like the surgical safety checklist. Further, she has explored processes and outcomes related to interprofessional education and collaboration.

She holds cross-appointments with the School of Graduate Studies and is an affiliated scholar with the Wilson Centre for Health Professions Education and the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute. She currently teaches in the graduate and post-diploma programs, with an interest in qualitative research, seminar and practice courses. She also acts as a faculty advisor to graduate students and is involved in graduate student thesis supervision.
