Abstract
CONTEXT: Within the social sciences, researchers increasingly build on visual methods to explore complex phenomena and understand how people experience and give meaning to this complexity. Amongst the variety of visual methods available, rich pictures are beginning to gain traction in health professions education (HPE) research. APPROACH: A rich picture is a pictorial representation of a particular situation, including what happened, who was involved, how people felt, how people acted, how people behaved, and what external pressures they acted upon. Rich pictures expand our perspective; they may highlight connections, illuminate the big picture and reveal unexpected emotions. Although new methods bring excitement to the field, it is our responsibility to also be cautious and insightful about their limitations. Rich pictures are a method in evolution in HPE research, with many unknowns about what is possible and what is optimal. PURPOSE: In the current paper, we aim to map out the background, describe the process and share some reflective insights of using rich pictures as a data collection method.
