Title PHS: Qualitative Health Research – The Essentials (Core Methods)
Description Preparatory work: starting mid-January 2026
Morning and afternoon sessions from 03.03. - 06.03.2026

This course is directed towards everyone interested in qualitative health research. In each session, participants discuss key elements, landmark methodological papers as well as empirical studies to understand the essentials of qualitative health research.

Activities:
The course follows a flipped-classroom design. During February, participants study materials provided (videos, podcasts, book chapters, and articles) to acquire basic knowledge in qualitative health research. In March, the 4 days-block seminar takes place. During the morning sessions of the 4 days-block seminar, each participant leads a session, with the support of a lecturer who is experienced in qualitative research, to critically reflect upon knowledge gained. Afternoon sessions are dedicated to practical training of skills in conducting qualitative research.
