Dr. Meghan Critchley is a Postdoctoral Associate with the Sport Injury Prevention Research Centre (SIPRC) working under the supervision of Dr. Carolyn Emery.

Meghan graduated from the University of Wyoming with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Theatre and Dance (2015) and a Masters of Science in Kinesiology and Health Promotion (2018). Meghan’s doctoral thesis was completed in 2022 examining prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of dance-related injury in pre-professional ballet dancers. Her primary research interests include the reduction of the burden of musculoskeletal injuries in dance populations through primary and secondary prevention strategies.
