He obtained his Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences from Western Michigan University and holds a Master of Arts in Health Professions Education from Michigan State University. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, where he conducted human factors research in virtual reality-based simulation.
Dr. Harmer's research employs a human factors approach to investigate clinical effectiveness and patient safety incidents in prehospital pediatric care. His notable work in the Augmenting the On-Scene Medic (ATOM) study examines the use of novel technology aimed at reducing pediatric medication dosing errors.
