Dr. Bedingfield's clinical and academic career has focused on tuberculosis (TB) care. This depth of experience provides her with a strong TB knowledge base and an extensive professional network. In 2008, she began working as a Registered Nurse at the Calgary TB Clinic and maintains close ties with the clinic. She is currently working under Dr. Dick Menzies and Dr. Amrita Daftary as a post-doctoral fellow after having completed a PhD focused on TB (University of Calgary - 2022), a 1-year work term as a TB Project Manager with the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Disease (2023-University of Manitoba), and a 7 year placement as the Calgary Site Coordinator for 3 clinical trials operating in Dr. Dick Menzies’ research group. For her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Bedingfield used qualitative methods to explore patient education for people born outside of Canada and their family members experiencing infectious TB. Under the supervision of Dr. Daftary and Dr. Menzies, her post-doctoral work will be focused on using mixed methods to explore quality of life during TB treatment for patients in South Africa, North America, and Vietnam.
