Researching Medical Education, 2nd Edition, is a book that connects theory, study design, and methods across health professions education. The text supports quality improvement, capacity building, and knowledge generation across diverse educational settings.
The volume introduces core research planning by exploring distinctions among qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches. Methodological chapters address traditions such as ethnography, visual research, and educational neuroscience, while theoretical discussions span social environments as well as individual learner cognition.
Comprising 30 chapters, this 2023 edition adds 10 new chapters. It provides foundational guidance on researcher development for investigators conducting inquiry across the health professions.
