Jennifer Mary Weller is a New Zealand anaesthesiology academic, who is currently a full professor at the University of Auckland. ^[1]

Academic career

Weller graduated from University of Adelaide, with her post-graduation training in hospitals in Canberra, Nottingham and Adelaide. She moved to Wellington Hospital in 1994 as a full-time specialist anaesthetist, eventually taking a Masters of Clinical Education from the University of New South Wales and taking on teaching at Victoria University of Wellington as well as medical duties. A move to Auckland and the University of Auckland led to a PhD in 2005. ^[2] She rose to full professor in 2017. ^[3]

Much of Weller's research involved MORSim, an operating theatre simulator used for training surgical teams. ^{[4] [5] [6] [7]}
