Doctoral Capstone Seminar

An individualized doctoral capstone plan is collaboratively designed between students, capstone coordinator, faculty capstone advisors, and a facility's expert capstone mentor(s) to include individualized learning objectives and the initial conception of a culminating capstone project. The culminating capstone project must relate theory to practice, demonstrate a synthesis of advanced knowledge in occupational therapy, and be meaningful to the setting. Additionally, a comprehensive curriculum review for the national board exam and the processes for national certification and state licensure are included. Each student must pass a comprehensive competency examination prior to the commencement of the doctoral capstone experience
