OCTH 742 - Capstone Project 1: Practice-Based Project Development

Credits: (3)

Instructional Method: Online
Through this course, the student will lay the foundation for their capstone project. With guidance from a faculty mentor, the student will identify a real-world problem of interest, conduct a literature review, explore concepts of translational research as related to occupational therapy, and develop a project proposal following accepted methods of systematic inquiry. The capstone is an applied and individualized learning experience that may focus on topics such as advanced clinical practice, education, leadership, program development, or advocacy. Service-learning is encouraged and may be incorporated by the student into their proposal. Once a topic and question have been identified, researched, synthesized in a proposal, and approved by the assigned faculty, the student will be guided through the process of obtaining necessary approvals for implementing their proposed project.
