#61 LIVE Session – Getting Realist with New Medical Schools—8C’s for Success
But how are new medical schools successfully established?
You would think this Herculean institution-building would induce a large body of literature about med-school-making but there is a big gap in the literature. In fact, the authors of today’s paper assert that there is little published empirical evidence to date, nor any theory brought to bear on this phenomenon. The authors chose a Critical Realist lens and Institutional Entrepreneurship theory to design this study.
