Popis: The aim of this work is to uncover the preferences and perspectives of college educators as they interpret medical documentation outlining medically requested return-to-learn (RTL) instructions. Participants were recruited from five colleges across campus at a large Midwest public university. They each engaged in a private, one-on-one, audio-recorded interview. All recordings were transcribed and inductively analyzed using a grounded theory approach and two-coder system. All codes and themes were finalized once agreement was reached by both coders. Resultant themes from axial coding had to represent the voices of at least 80% of participants. Three characteristics emerged as being desired by college educators: brevity, clarity, and direction. Educators also expressed considerably less utility with medical documentation designed for pediatric students with concussion. College educators desire medical notes that are brief, clear, and provide straightforward direction, in addition to documentation that is tailored for the college setting.
