We discuss the integration of naturalistic decision making theoretical perspective and cognitive task analysis methods (CTA) in a PhD level qualitative methods courses offered to applied health sciences students. Students planned and executed a mini CTA project that included identification of a research question, development of a proposal with an interview guide, recruitment of participants, data collection and analysis, and documentation. We share a reading list and discuss the benefits and challenges of offering this course project.
