Description:
Mixed methods, the intentional integration of qualitative and quantitative data, is an increasingly popular methodology in health sciences and social sciences research. This elective will focus on how mixed methods can be beneficial in medical education research, using a current research project led by Dr. Kirsten Porter-Stransky as an example. Students will learn to define mixed methods research, analyze qualitative and quantitative data, and discuss data integration strategies. The ideal learners will be interested in medical education research, psychiatry, and neuroscience. Dedicated students may have the opportunity to contribute to a publishable research project.
