Dr Selina Parry

Dr Selina Parry is Senior Lecturer and NHMRC Early Career Fellow (2016-2019) within the Department of Physiotherapy. Dr Parry is the Lead of the Cardiorespiratory Teaching Program and Lead for Engagement and Advancement within the Department of Physiotherapy.

She completed her PhD in 2015 in the area of critical care rehabilitation and recovery and has a Graduate Certificate in University Teaching. Dr Parry is passionate about teaching the next generation of physiotherapists and has been recognised for her leadership of the cardiorespiratory teaching program with Department (2015), School of Health Sciences (2017) and Faculty (2018) awards for teaching excellence. She also received a prestigious Australian Award for University Teaching 2018 Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning.

Dr Parry currently has an active research program focused on the areas of rehabilitation and recovery for individuals post critical illness and major surgery (thoracic, abdominal, and cardiac) as well as the use of muscle ultrasound to diagnose and detect treatment efficacy. Dr Parry is currently leading a multi-centre study examining the long term outcomes post ICU admission with a particular focus on physical activity, balance, gait, mood, and cognitive recovery. Dr Parry currently collaborates with national and international ICU/surgery colleagues across Australia, North America, South America, Asia and Europe. She has been invited to speak at 16 international and 6 national conferences and received prestigious awards from both national and international conferences including Australian Physiotherapy Association and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine. Dr Parry is actively involved within the physiotherapy and acute care fields and is the immediate past National Chair of the Australian Physiotherapy Cardiorespiratory Group. She supervises a number of PhD and MPhil students working on these projects and is available to take on new students.
