| Summary: | After completing my Doctor of Pharmacy degree, I pursued a masters degree in education to further prepare me for the world of academia. As a part of my educational research training, I chose to use qualitative methods to evaluate a teaching certificate program from my College. Since I was familiar with quantitative methods in the medical field, qualitative research methods made me uncomfortable and I honestly did not know whether qualitative methods could be as powerful as quantitative results. I was certainly a qualitative skeptic despite having chosen this methodology for my research project. This case study provides an account of my journey to learn qualitative research methods and uncover a story behind quantitative data to evaluate a program that teaches non-educationally trained pharmacy residents and faculty to teach. This 3-year project was one filled with frustrations and failures but also excitements and successes. This case illuminates the value of qualitative research in a field that is historically quantitatively minded. |
