This course is designed for anyone undertaking qualitative research in health professions education and training. We cover each phase of the research process from identifying the issue to be investigated, writing research questions, selecting study design, data collection, analysis, reporting and dissemination. We also consider higher level concepts including philosophical notions on the nature of reality and knowledge (ontology and epistemology). We share commonly used theoretical frameworks in health professions education and offer an overview of five approaches – narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography and case study. Participants will cover the fundamentals of qualitative research to prepare them to meaningfully review qualitative research and to design their own. Participants are expected to undertake preparatory work and evening assignments during the course.
After participating in this course, participants will be able to:
- Describe broad traditions in qualitative research
- Outline concepts of ontology and epistemology relative to qualitative research
- Discuss commonly used theoretical frameworks in health professions education research
- Identify and practice common methods of data collection for qualitative research
- Meaningfully review qualitative research
- Write a qualitative research proposal relevant to their practice
The course faculty are experienced in qualitative research, using the approaches in their own practice.
This course is suitable for anyone interested in undertaking qualitative research on the education and training of healthcare students and professionals. The course is a valuable foundation for students undertaking higher degrees.
