Foundations of Health Professions Education Research

Understand the principles, perspectives, and practices for researching health professions education with this accessible introduction

Educating healthcare students and professionals is critical to the long-term improvement of human health. Health professions education research (HPER) is a growing field with enormous potential to enrich the education of medical, nursing, and allied health students and professionals. There is still, however, an urgent need for a textbook focusing on the foundations of HPER that will help new and existing HPE researchers ground their work in research philosophies, evidence-based methodologies, and proven best practices.

Foundations of Health Professions Education Research meets this need with a broad-based and accessible introduction to the foundations of HPER. Rooted in the latest theoretical and methodological advances, this book takes a global and interdisciplinary approach, designed to provide the widest possible range of backgrounds with a working knowledge of HPER. It promises to become an indispensable contribution to this growing field of increasingly rigorous research.

Foundations of Health Professions Education Research readers will also find:

• An authorial team with decades of combined HPER experience on multiple continents
• Educational features such as learning outcomes, illustrative case studies, discussion points, and exercises to facilitate understanding and retention
• Detailed discussion of different approaches to HPER including scientific, realist, interpretivist, critical, and pragmatic approaches alongside a range of topics taking you through your entire research journey

Foundations of Health Professions Education Research is a useful reference for both new and experienced HPE researchers, including postgraduate students studying HPER.
