RMD - 520 Capstone IV

Continuation of RMD 519. The Capstone Project is a self-directed, longitudinal activity that will commence during the M1 year and culminate in a presentation at the end of the M3 year. At the conclusion of medical school, each RMC student will be the “Rush Medical College expert” on their specific topic. Rush will support students who opt to publish their project with their faculty mentor. Potential publication types include case reports, book chapters, abstracts and research papers. During the M1 year, each medical student will identify a main theme they are interested in investigating throughout the three years of the project. Each year, students will be responsible for developing topics related to their theme. For each topic, the student identify and complete learning objectives, work with a faculty adviser and submit documentation to the faculty member who will provide advice, feedback and mentoring. Themes can be re-shaped learning objectives that correspond to their current course work. Required Retake Counts for Credit: No. Pass/No Pass Grading Allowed: No. Credit(s): 1
