Capstone Project Implementation and Evaluations

School of Medicine

Based on an approved project plan from the first year, students will implement and evaluate a Capstone project in conjunction with a clinical informatics operations team at their home institution. The Capstone Project is designed to provide students with knowledge and skills required to design and conduct applied research studies to evaluate the efficacy of informatics applications in the clinical environment. Based on personal career objectives and informatics challenges that they identify in practicum course, the capstone project will have the flexibility to be completed as a group or individually. Each student will have a faculty mentor and, if applicable, a practice mentor within the student's home department/organization.
