Online seminar series: An introduction to health professions education research

As part of the PEP project, we are organising a series of online seminars on health professions education research. The intended participants are faculty and other staff at PEP partner institutions who have an interest in educational research.

Each seminar will cover a different aspect of educational research, providing participants with a broad introduction to approaches and methodologies in health professions education research. Focus has been given to topics that are relevant for those working in the health sciences, who are not yet familiar with educational research.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions for topics, please reach out to Lasse X Jensen.
