Description: “This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”Fundamentals of Qualitative Research is designed to introduce learners to the essential principles, methods, and applications of qualitative inquiry within the health sciences. Unlike purely quantitative approaches, qualitative research allows us to explore the richness of human experiences, patient perspectives, and the complex social and organisational processes in healthcare that cannot always be reduced to numbers alone.This course provides a comprehensive yet practical foundation in qualitative methods. Learners will develop skills in formulating well-structured research questions, purposeful sampling strategies, and diverse methods of data collection such as interviews, focus groups, and observation. A strong emphasis is placed on thematic analysis, which enables the identification of patterns and deeper meanings within narrative data. Through real-world examples and applied case studies, participants will see how qualitative approaches can uncover insights into issues such as patient–provider communication, health behaviour, and barriers to healthcare access.The course also demonstrates the complementary relationship between qualitative and quantitative research. By highlighting the strengths and limitations of each approach, learners will be introduced to mixed-methods designs, which combine the two traditions to produce richer, more balanced findings.By the end of the course, students will be able to critically evaluate qualitative research studies, design and conduct their own projects, and effectively translate findings into meaningful contributions for patient care, policy development, and academic scholarship.This course is ideal for medical students, residents, and healthcare professionals who want to strengthen their research skills, as well as for early-career researchers, public health practitioners, and social scientists seeking to integrate
