Research proposal. The aim of this assessment is to provide students with an opportunity to prepare a research proposal on a surgical educational project which will enable judgement of their ability to identify and articulate a research question relevant to surgical education, present a critique of current literature, locate their work in a theoretical framework, select appropriate methods for study, present a Gantt chart or similar representation of a research schedule.
| End of semester | 80% |
Hurdle requirement: Experiential exercise (participate in simulated exercises in research methods), due on study day. The aim of this assessment is to ensure students 'experience' a research method - (e.g. individual interview, focus group) highlighting strengths and weaknesses of the approach. | N/A |
