Lauri’s L&D Portfolio

Learning that meets clinical insight

About me:

I combine my clinical experience with my degree in industrial and organizational psychology to design sustainable practices that align business success with employee growth. I’m passionate about helping people thrive at work and creating systems and learning pathways that support their development. Here are a few examples.
  • This module was developed to reduce time-to-proficiency. This module was created to reduce the time to proficiency for clinicians in my region. On average, clinicians were taking 8–10 weeks to confidently and effectively integrate photobiomodulation (PBM) into their practice. By standardizing training and providing clear, evidence-based guidance, this module aims to cut that timeline by roughly 30–40%, helping clinicians achieve proficiency in 5–6 weeks. Photobiomodulation, or PBM, is a scientifically supported therapy that works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation, increase ATP production, and stimulate tissue repair. When used correctly, it accelerates healing, minimizes patient discomfort, and enhances overall clinical results.

A gap analysis revealed that while clinicians recognize the value of practicing empathy and using effective framing and information-gathering techniques, many feel they lack practical techniques to put these principles into action. This gap can make it harder to build patient trust, which is essential for smoother diagnosis and more effective treatment planning. This module is designed to bridge that gap by providing clear, practical strategies you can use during everyday patient interactions to strengthen rapport, reduce anxiety, and support better clinical outcomes

Onboarding new clinicians often comes with challenges in managing multiple patient columns, multitasking, and prioritizing procedures. These demands can create uncertainty about how to perform their role most effectively, leading to stress and inefficiencies in patient care. This module addresses those gaps by providing clear guidance and practical strategies to help new clinicians build confidence and deliver care with greater clarity and ease.

Here are examples of a module I designed and launched directly within an LMS. They showcase not only my skills with authoring tools, but also my hands-on experience working in learning management systems like Canvas and Cornerstone.

This portfolio section highlights how case-based learning and structured objectives were used to bridge theory and practice in clinical training. Each slide was designed through the lens of ADDIE and Bloom’s Taxonomy to promote experiential learning, knowledge retention, and real-world skill application. From developing declarative memory and time management strategies to reinforcing clinical reasoning and evaluation, these materials demonstrate intentional L&D design that drives measurable performance outcomes. Following implementation, participating clinicians reported a 32% improvement in time efficiency, a 45% increase in diagnostic accuracy, and a 25% reduction in repeat training needs

  • This slide demonstrates how case studies bridge theory and practice for clinicians by reinforcing experiential learning principles in a safe, reflective way. Designed with Bloom’s “Application” level and ADDIE’s Transfer phase in mind, the visuals support engagement and cognitive organization to strengthen knowledge retention.
  • By integrating adult learning theory, this slide showcases how real-world relevance and problem-centered approaches improve learner engagement and critical thinking.
  • This slide was developed to connect the purpose of training with cognitive learning theory, specifically how repetition, reflection, and practice help move information into declarative memory for conscious recall.
  • This flow diagram was developed to illustrate the post-training phases of a learning program using the Kirkpatrick model and ADDIEs Evaluation stage. It connects learning outcomes to measurable workplace performance through supportive tools and performance metrics. The progression visually reinforces how effective L&D design ensures learning transfer, ongoing reinforcement, and continuous improvement.
