TLDR
A program director might say: ‘‘I collect data from my residents about their learning experiences in a new longitudinal clinical rotation, should I use qualitative methods?’’Abstract:

Someone suggested that I use grounded theory, but how do I know this is the best approach? Are there others?’’read more
