The first is the foundational coursework phase, made up of three seven-week courses: Issues in Clinical Practice, Biostatistics, and Research Design. The second is a semester-long Capstone Project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students are able to choose the enrollment pace that fits their schedule. The program\u2019s Accelerated Pathway completes all three foundational courses in a single term. Our Flexible Pathways spread the same three courses across two or three terms, one course at a time or in combination of one or two courses per term. At the conclusion of the program\u2019s three foundational courses, both pathways lead to the semester-long Capstone Project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each foundational course includes one required synchronous session per week, along with weekly asynchronous coursework. Students must be available for both synchronous and asynchronous activities during any term in which they are enrolled in a course. The synchronous sessions are scheduled with the goal of greatest availability for a variety of schedules. Regardless of pathway, continuous enrollment is required; students must complete at least one foundational course each term until all three are finished.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing all three foundational courses, students move to a semester-long capstone project where students hone the skills of a data-driven leader by developing a highly personalized research project focused on an area of interest to the student, whether that means deepening expertise in their medical discipline, exploring a topic they&#8217;re passionate about such as PA education, or working toward a solution for a problem they&#8217;ve encountered in practice. The Capstone Project is firmly grounded in biostatistics and research design. It is anticipated that the typical student will complete their Capstone Project in one semester. If students do not complete the Capstone Project by the end of the term, they must enroll in a Capstone Continuation Course to maintain active enrollment in the program. Students must complete the Capstone within one year of starting the project unless they obtain permission from the DMS Bridge Program Director. The previously earned SCPE are combined with the 14-credit-hour online, 700-level Bridge courses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Didactic Courses&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Credit Hours<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DMS-BR778, Issues in Clinical Practice<\/td><td>3 credit hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DMS-BR780, Biostatistics<\/td><td>3 credit hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DMS-BR782, Research Design<\/td><td>3 credit hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Capstone&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DMS-BR784, Capstone Project<\/td><td>5 credit hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"butler-accordion-container wp-block-butler-accordion-container\" data-allow-multiple=\"false\" style=\"--butler-accordion-title-bg-hover: ;\">\n\n<div class=\"butler-accordion-item wp-block-butler-accordion-item\">\n\t<div class=\"butler-accordion-header\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"butler-accordion-title wp-block-butler-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"butler-accordion-toggle\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\tDMS-BR778 Issues in Clinical Practice\t\t\t\t<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Open<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"butler-accordion-item-content\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This module extends students&#8217; understanding of leadership and the impact of quality and patient safety on patient care. Topics will include the impact of preventable, adverse medical events on patients and medical professionals; prepares students to identify and participate in corrective strategies that improve quality and safety throughout their practice; and develops and nurtures a culture of quality and safety that enhances patient satisfaction and quality of care outcomes. Topics within leadership will include fundamentals of leadership, leadership and professionalism self-assessment, and leadership philosophy. Learners will model professionalism skills, best leadership practices and behaviors, and handling conflict. Learners will apply this to their personal and professional life through a series of practical exercises.&nbsp;Prerequisites: Completion of entry-level PA program, NCCPA certification, and admission to the Bridge Program.
