#06 Phenomenological research

What makes a study phenomenological? What is the difference between phenomenological and a non-phenomenological research? And what makes it valuable for medical education?

 

We discuss the sixth installment of the series on philosophy in medical education of Mario Veen and Anna Cianciolo, which appears in Teaching and Learning in Medicine: An International Journal --
