Qualitative research has become increasingly prominent in health professions education in recent years. Qualitative approaches are used to study social and human phenomena in their natural settings through exploration of individuals’underlying reasons, opinions and motivations. In this workshop, we will consider the nature of qualitative research questions, discuss common methodologies, describe data collection and analysis methods, and define the principles of rigour.
