A Skills Development Program
Overview
The Qualitative Institute (TQI) is a 3-day program professional development program designed to enhance skills that are useful in qualitative and mixed methods research. TQI is useful to researchers, clinicians, and scholars working in public health, healthcare, social work, government, non-profit organizations, and policy who are new to or would like to hone and expand their qualitative research skills.
TQI is offered in-person on the campus of Thomas Jefferson University and consists of interactive learning with several workshop sessions that allow learners to practice new skills as they acquire them. It is taught by experts from Thomas Jefferson University, University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Drexel University, and Vanderbilt University.
