Is it science? A study of the attitudes of medical trainees and physicians toward qualitative and quantitative research.

This study examined the degree of acceptance of qualitative research by medical trainees and physicians, and explored the causes for any differences in their support of qualitative versus quantitative research. Thirty-two individuals at four levels of medical training were studied. Eight philosophers of science served for construct validation.

What do emergency medicine learners want from their teachers? A multicenter focus group analysis.

Background: To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are no reports describing what learners believe are good emergency medicine (EM) teaching practices. EM faculty developers are compromised by this lack of knowledge about what EM learners appreciate in their teachers.

Objectives: To determine what Canadian EM learners consider to be good prerequisites and strategies for effective teaching in the emergency department (ED).

Creating effective learning in today's emergency departments: how accomplished teachers get it done.

Study Objectives: Significant impediments to effective emergency department (ED) teaching compromise what could otherwise be an excellent learning milieu. There is little literature to guide faculty development around specific emergency medicine teaching techniques. We determine what recognized experts in emergency medicine teaching consider to be the important clinical teaching behaviors that make them good teachers, the main impediments to good teaching in EDs, and important prerequisites for a good ED teacher.
