The Capstone Experience
The Master of Science in healthcare informatics emphasizes state-of-the-art computing technologies in healthcare. The capstone experience is an opportunity for students to apply knowledge to a health informatics issue. Participants will choose a topic that complements their interests and demonstrates what they have learned by creating a comprehensive project with practical significance.
The capstone experience is divided into three, one-credit-hour courses, taken in sequential order in the last three academic terms. The capstone experience is made up of three areas: electronic portfolio, capstone project and capstone presentation. The portfolio allows for ongoing reflection of learning outcomes, and the presentation provides an opportunity to share both the portfolio and the project findings.
