Credits: 4
This course will include a placement within a field practicum.

The student will volunteer and provide weekly status reports and gain knowledge and experience first-hand as they provide services for a community agency. Students will connect this experience to their capstone project/thesis. *In addition to coursework, exams, quizzes and readings, students will research, prepare and write an APA style term paper on their field practicum experience as it relates to biological research, integrative medicine, integrative health care and/or interprofessional practice. Additionally, field practicum evaluations will be included within the students’ portfolio file (Student Portfolio Project 5).
