This seminar-formatted course is the first of a four-course series designed to students in implementing an evidence-based practice (EBP) project. This course will introduce students to the capstone process and progression through the four- course series. Discussions of project scope and quality and development of an EBP project proposal will take place. Students will work with faculty to plan, design and evaluate evidencebased projects. Students will begin the process of program management, gather and critically appraise evidence, develop goals, determine expected project outcomes and establish an appropriate time-management plan for the project. As part of this fourcourse sequence, students will engage in 400 hours of mentored experience from the inception of the EBP project to dissemination of the findings.
