Article Abstract
Methodologically sound sampling is fundamental to the rigour and impact of qualitative medical education research, directly shaping the depth and breadth of resulting insights. Recognizing the significant influence of sampling decisions on research outcomes, this paper offers a practical guide for researchers navigating these crucial choices. We begin by delineating commonly employed qualitative sampling strategies, critically examining their respective strengths and inherent limitations. Subsequently, we emphasize the iterative nature of sampling, highlighting its continuous relevance throughout the research lifecycle, from initial participant recruitment to the nuanced stages of data analysis and interpretation. By providing pragmatic insights into these essential facets of qualitative sampling, this paper aims to empower researchers to make critical decisions, ultimately bolstering the quality, credibility and trustworthiness of their qualitative medical education research endeavours.

People with dementia are living longer in the community and reliance on informal caregivers is increasing. Few studies have focused on the experiences of adult-daughter caregivers (daughter caregivers), who may have increased risk of depression and lack of support compared with spousal caregivers. We aimed to explore the experiences of accessing and receiving formal and informal support among daughter caregivers of people living with dementia in Sweden.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in clinical settings for tasks ranging from patient communication to decision support. While these models demonstrate race-based and binary gender biases, anti-LGBTQIA+ bias remains understudied despite documented healthcare disparities affecting these populations. In this work, we evaluated the potential of LLMs to propagate anti-LGBTQIA+ medical bias and misinformation.
