PA 700 - PA Capstone

The purpose of the Capstone course is to foster a clinically-relevant, scholarly activity which serves as the culminating experience for graduate education in the Physician Assistant Program. The Capstone project will permit the student to gain greater insight into health care related issues such as specific medical conditions, specific therapies, specific diagnostic tests, clinical practice guidelines, health care delivery systems, or patient education challenges. Students are required to work individually under the guidance of a faculty member to fully develop an evidence-based manuscript based on a clinical question or topic of interest as it relates to community health, public health, and integrative healthcare. The deliverable for the capstone project is a research paper and project that substantiates or refutes a clinical hypothesis through integration of an existing body of knowledge and addresses the clinical problem with a population specific action-oriented plan and presentation.
