Capstone
You will complete a capstone project during the second and third years of study. This project may involve an in-depth literature review to probe a controversial clinical topic or a clinically relevant, limited scope investigation, case study, or large-scale clinical project.
The capstone should be a substantial, summative report on a clinical topic, with a close connection to clinical experience, knowledge, and practice. The quality of the project should be acceptable as a presentation at a clinical meeting, though not necessarily of publishable quality.
The nature and focus of your capstone project must be accepted by a committee of three faculty and academic staff with at least two faculty members and representation from both campuses. You will work with your committee in developing the project.
At the end of the third year, you will produce a final paper for the committee and present a report on the project at a meeting of colleagues and faculty. Your committee will determine whether you pass this exercise and will make appropriate recommendations if the work is less than satisfactory.
