Course Description

This course is only available to students enrolled in the Medical Education Distinction Track (MEDT). The Medical Education Distinction Track helps medical students who are interested in pursuing careers in academic medicine to develop knowledge and experience in both the theory and the practice of education.

The Capstone Project is a scholarly project that allows the student to explore deeply into a focused question in medical education, think creatively, and demonstrate mastery of key concepts in the field. The student should discuss possible topics for the Capstone Project with his/her MEDT Mentor. The student must submit a completed Project Proposal Form for approval by the Director and Steering Committee of the track.

After the student's proposal has been approved, the student should regularly discuss the project with his/her MEDT Mentor, including design or planning and progress. The student must also submit progress reports to the Steering Committee by specific dates. The final written report and presentation are due during March of the student's MS4 year.
