民族志是一种定性研究，它收集观察、访谈和文献数据，对不同的社会现象进行详细而全面的描述。人种学研究在医学教育中的应用已经产生了许多关于其在医学生临床实践准备中的作用、功能和困难的深刻见解。本 AMEE 指南介绍了民族志 - 它的历史、它的不同形式、它在医学教育中的作用及其实际应用。具体来说，该指南首先概述了民族志的主要特征：描述其起源，概述其不同形式并讨论其理论运用。它还探讨了在医学教育背景下进行的民族志工作的作用、贡献和局限性。此外，该指南还提供了进行民族志研究所需的一系列想法、方法、工具和技术。在此过程中，它讨论了其概念、方法、伦理和实践挑战（例如记录社会行动的复杂性的要求、数据收集活动的不可预测性）。最后，该指南为未来在医学教育中参与民族志提供了一系列最终的想法和想法。本指南的目标读者是那些有兴趣了解民族志的人，以培养他们在阅读此类作品时的评估技能。它还针对那些有兴趣在自己的研究工作中考虑使用人种学方法的人。
Ethnography is a type of qualitative research that gathers observations, interviews and documentary data to produce detailed and comprehensive accounts of different social phenomena. The use of ethnographic research in medical education has produced a number of insightful accounts into its role, functions and difficulties in the preparation of medical students for clinical practice. This AMEE Guide offers an introduction to ethnography - its history, its differing forms, its role in medical education and its practical application. Specifically, the Guide initially outlines the main characteristics of ethnography: describing its origins, outlining its varying forms and discussing its use of theory. It also explores the role, contribution and limitations of ethnographic work undertaken in a medical education context. In addition, the Guide goes on to offer a range of ideas, methods, tools and techniques needed to undertake an ethnographic study. In doing so it discusses its conceptual, methodological, ethical and practice challenges (e. g. demands of recording the complexity of social action, the unpredictability of data collection activities). Finally, the Guide provides a series of final thoughts and ideas for future engagement with ethnography in medical education. This Guide is aimed for those interested in understanding ethnography to develop their evaluative skills when reading such work. It is also aimed at those interested in considering the use of ethnographic methods in their own research work.
