Module description

In this module you will evaluate your practice as a professional through the lens of research and scholarship in healthcare education and leadership. You will be supported to appraise a variety of literature, identifying your own areas of interest and potential gaps in what is known. You will learn about data collection and analysis, ethics, the positionality of the researcher and potential career pathways for scholarship in healthcare education. Having carried out a literature review of your own, you will then design a small-scale research project and write a proposal for funding.
