“Take your Clinical Degree to the next level Through Action Research.”
What is Action Research?
Action research seeks transformative change through the simultaneous process of acting through doing research, which is linked together by critical reflection. Kurt Lewin, a professor at MIT, first coined the term "action research" in 1944. In his 1946 paper "Action Research and Minority Problems."
The University of Humanitarian Medicine is the only organization where you are offered an opportunity to take your clinical degree to the highest level through action research and to bring underserved people to a state of wholeness through education.
UHM action research is a form of problem-based investigation by members into their practice. The goal is to create and share knowledge in traditional natural medicine modalities and add to the organization's research department.
UHM Action research participants reflect upon the consequences of their questions, beliefs, assumptions, and practices to understand, develop, and improve their techniques and set themselves apart as educators.
The program is designed to create levels of change (1) self-change in participants within the research group (2); the second level is a collective process of understanding change in your group, your clinical settings, and the community.
You will work with others to create a collective sharing of information for a deeper understanding. It will be a process of sharing findings with other researchers within the group. Sharing will be accomplished in many avenues, such as social media, books, conferences, community seminars and workshops, and material from other researchers in our research department.
There are three levels of action research that you can participate in
Collaborative Action Research- Working with others on a project will to gain more knowledge on the group’s resources and skills.
Participatory Action Learning and Action Research- Enhancing your practice through participating
Collective Action Research- Sharing other research works
