- In this episode of the Academic Medicine Podcast, the journal’s editors–Bridget O’Brien, Ph.D., Jonathan Amiel, M.D., Megan Brown, MBBS(H), Ph.D., and Laura Hirshfield, Ph.D. – join host Toni Gallo to share practical guidance for designing and reporting qualitative research. They make recommendations for getting started, choosing a methodology, and effectively using published guidelines. Then they dispel common myths around writing up and publishing qualitative research.
