Senior Capstone

Catalog description

The Senior Capstone is a 4th-year clinical rotation to provide the student additional coursework in interprofessional education, osteopathic principles and practices, physician wellness, culturally inclusive clinical care, and self-directed learning. A career counseling meeting will complement the self-directed learning activities students identify to enhance their career goals. The senior capstone offers a two-week period for a clinical audition rotation. The intention is to offer an additional exposure to strengthen every student's application for residency. In the event that a virtual rotation is requested, then it must be approved by both the Regional Dean and Clinical Education. The student will receive a Pass/Fail for their grade, which is determined by completing all rotation assignments, including submission of self-reflective papers to their portfolio and a clinical clerkship evaluation.
