Mandatory Capstone

4 Credits · Level: Graduate

The Capstone Course is the culmination of the student’s course work and experiences at Georgetown. It is an integral part of the core curriculum taken during the Summer I and II sessions. The Capstone course consists of a student-proposed and executed project. The Project is designed to provide students with the opportunity to bring together the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout the program and apply them to a real-world challenge in healthcare. Students will be required to identify a problem and propose a practical solution that leverages the learning acquired during the 2 semesters in the program. Students will be supervised by the academic advisor and a host preceptor/mentor from industry or government. The project will typically cover the conceptualization, analysis, design, and production of a working, functional prototype that serves as a proof of concept.
