Survey free-text responses: development and refinement of a list of terms
Five hundred and ninety individual terms were submitted as core concepts of pharmacology education by 163 respondents who addressed this survey question. A term was defined as one or more words that capture a single idea. Duplicates were removed by two raters (YS and PW), and clusters of words judged to have equivalent or similar meanings were grouped under the term that best reflected the central meaning (see Table 3 for an example). The final list of 48 individual terms is shown in Table 4.
