Capstone IV

Catalog description

The Capstone IV course offers a period at the end of the second semester for students to apply and integrate the information they have learned in the preceding blocks and courses. While the assessment in the tests at the end of modules will focus largely on recall of information, assessments during the Capstone will emphasis higher-order thinking skills and real-world applications. Students will be involved in integrated case scenarios, reflective journaling of elective experience that related to curriculum, review for NAVLE, interdisciplinary evidence based medicine discussions, and critical thinking assessments. The Capstone period will also permit time for remediation of students who have been identified as requiring intervention.
