SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This study was conducted using qualitative research and a semi‑structured interview. Participants were selected using an expert sampling method is a sub‑type of purposive sampling. Twenty‑three faculty members and expert staff (11 males and 12 women) participated in the interview.
