Health Professions Education Capstone Project
In this course students craft a research proposal primed for submission to the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Guided by seasoned educators and researchers, participants skillfully construct essential components of a robust research proposal that fills a current gap in the literature. Proposals will include an introduction, background, significance, thorough literature review, research methods, budget, and thoughtful implications and conclusions. By course end, students will not only have a well prepared research proposal but also the knowledge and confidence to undertake impactful research in the dynamic landscape of health professions education.
