Teaching
Dr. Oni strives to deliver high quality teaching that is reinforced by a Senior Fellow HEA teaching qualification. Regionally, she served as a member on the Institute of life course and medical sciences (ILCAMS) Education Committee for 5 years, where she championed for the fair allocation of teaching workloads across the entire Institute; resulting in an increase in the pool of teachers by 35% and the number of projects by 32% without any investment. Internationally, she contributed as a member on the European Society of Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN) speciality Examination board involving question writing, standard setting and formal evaluation of the examination conduct. She positively embraces feedback in all aspects of my career and she consistently receives high scores for the delivery of teaching, for example, the lecture titled ‘Updates on IgA vasculitis’ performed for Minnesota Children’s hospital Grand Round, USA (May 2021) received feedback scores of excellent or very good from 16/16 respondents and 13/16 classed the content as ‘cutting edge’.
