This paper demonstrates the importance of pointing out the difficulties of a research study focused on a subject matter which is both highly sensitive and relevant to the modern world. Some obstacles that may confront the researcher during the development of the study are described, underlining the lack of this kind of publication in the scientific community and aiming to drive discussions regarding methodological difficulties in medical education.

Keywords : –Medical Errors; – Qualitative Research; – Methods; –Medical Education.
