“…Broadly, case study research was selected because it involves the in-depth study of one or more instances of a phenomenon in its real-life context that reflects the perspective of the participants involved in the phenomenon in a bounded context (Gall, Gall & Borg, 2006). The phenomenon being explored in this study was continuing education for experienced academics situated in a large Canadian medical doctoral university, which is classified as a research-intensive university in Canada (Gopaul, Jones, Weinrib, Metcalfe, Fisher, Gingras, & Rubenson, 2016). While the institution selected for this study can be considered as representative of other large, publicly funded, research intensive universities in North America, the rationale for collecting data from this particular university was ease of access to the participants, as well as access to continuing education offerings through the institution's teaching centre.…”
