Interprofessional Leadership in Health Care Capstone

Catalog description

This Capstone course moves from formative to summative evaluation of achievement of program outcomes. The Capstone process requires students, within a healthcare setting, to establish an interdisciplinary team to study a healthcare need. Students may choose a topic of interest related to nursing practice, administration, policy, or education. Leadership principles related to organizational culture and change including concepts of team, delegation, motivation, negotiation, and problem-solving are included. Students will assume a leadership role in determining the topic, assembling a team from a wide variety of disciplines to provide input using TeamSTEPPS, conducting a literature review on best evidence, developing an action plan to address needed changes, and creating a presentation. This provides the student an opportunity to show competency in the application, synthesis, and evaluation of concepts and nursing issues studied throughout the program. The Capstone will support competency in all domains of nursing, with a specific focus on Interprofessional Partnerships and Personal, Professional, and Leadership Development. ”This is an Experiential Learning Course”
