Mini-Research Project Due: Jun 1, 2023

Due: Thursday, 1 June 2023, 9:00 PM
Make a submission

COMPETENCIES OF HEALTH PROFESSIONALS PERCEIVED AS MOST ESSENTIAL

BY CLINICAL TEACHERS

 

Task

In clinical teaching, it is important to determine the core competencies that graduates should be able to acquire and are considered in the development of clinical learning outcomes and deciding on learning activities.  Your task is to conduct a simple research project to determine the competencies of health professionals perceived as most essential by clinical teachers and write a report of its findings.  This task is to be performed in pairs or groups of three members.

 

Procedure

1. Submit a proposed research plan in the following format:

3.  Once approval of the proposal is acquired, implement the research plan.  Remember, this is just a mini-research project, not a thesis, so the number of data points need not be voluminous.  What is important is that you are able to identify what pertinent information will be useful to collect to help validate the relevance of the core competencies as reviewed in the literature.

4. Collect your data and analyze it.  Based on the results, come up with a prioritized list of competencies expected of health professionals and recommendations on how these competencies can be useful for the development and implementation of clinical teaching.

You may want to look into Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance (W) as the statistical test to use for analysis.  You can view a video tutorial here:
