Here is a pretty new audiocast we recorded on March 8, 2007 as a part of the BC RSRnet Evidence Based practice series. This is session #5.

The session is presented by Dr. Judith Lynam, from UBC School of Nursing, who is Co-Director of Culture, Gender & Health Research Unit.

Not being a particularly ardent devotee of Qualitative research, I have to admit that this session is really engaging, and gives lots of good insight! Maybe because it is presented by a nursing professor (with me having a huge respect for this profession – well…I should – my wife – Elina Barsky is a nurse 🙂

You can access this particular session here – http://hdl.handle.net/2429/100
