Wolvaardt, Jacqueline Elizabeth (Liz)2024-02-142024-02-142024-04-192023-12-15*A2024http://hdl.handle.net/2263/94602Thesis (PhD (Public Health))--University of Pretoria, 2023.In this thesis, Discrete choice experiments in medical education: the role of management, health economics and research, the candidate utilised the stated preference technique—discrete choice experiment — to elicit the preferences of medical doctors regarding the allocation of their time between clinical training and training in management, health economics, and research in the medical curriculum. The findings suggest a preference among doctors to undergo formal training in self-management, the management of others, and the utilization of research skills, demonstrating their willingness to give up clinical training time to acquire these skills. Specifically, participants expressed a readiness to allocate 4.46 hours per week for management training and 4.38 hours per week for research training. By leveraging the insights derived from doctors' preferences with an attributes-based method, medical training can align with the expressed needs and priorities of doctors in a real-world context, ensuring a more effective and responsive educational framework.en© 2023 University of Pretoria.
