The capstone project is an opportunity for students to develop exceptional research skills while pursuing an area of interest that falls into one of the following categories: clinical research, public/community health, healthcare administration, PA education, or health policy. Students will be exposed to each of these areas of possible research throughout the didactic year, and through the Biostatistics and Epidemiology and Evidence-Based Medicine courses will develop their capstone project. The purpose of the capstone project is intended to foster leadership potential in each student to prepare them for a future in healthcare.
Students will be given time between rotation one and two to engage in capstone related activities which includes researching, internships, and/or independent study.
