CScD in OT Capstone Presentations
As a requirement for the post-professional Doctor of Clinical Science in Occupational Therapy curriculum, students are mentored to identify and implement a quality improvement project in a clinical or educational setting. These projects demonstrate innovative ideas, methods for planning and implementing evidence-based programs and outcomes of value to clients, employers and reimbursement sources.
CScD students will present their work as scheduled below starting at 4:00 pm. Each presentation will be followed by questions and discussion. Participants will not have permission to share video/audio but may ask questions by typing in the chat window.
Stay tuned for additional details.
