The purpose of The Entry Level Occupational Therapy Doctorate
Capstone: A Framework for The Experience and Project is to provide a
step-by-step guide for the development, planning, implementation and
dissemination of the entry-level occupational therapy doctoral capstone
experience and project.
The first entry-level occupational therapy doctorate program was
established in 1999, but even now there is a scarcity of occupational
therapy resources to guide faculty, prepare students and to socialize
mentors to the capstone experience and project. The Entry Level
Occupational Therapy Doctorate Capstone by Drs. Elizabeth DeIuliis
and Julie Bednarski is the first available resource in the field of
occupational therapy devoted to the doctoral capstone.
Each chapter provides sample resources and useful documents appropriate
for use with occupational therapy doctoral students, faculty, capstone
coordinators and site mentors.
Included Inside:
- Templates to develop the MOU, individualized doctoral student
objectives, and evaluations
- Examples of how to structure capstone project proposals
- Learning activities to guide the literature search and development of
a problem statement
- Strategies of how to approach sustainability and program evaluation of
the capstone project
- Recommendations for structure and formatting of the final written
document
- Additional scholarly products derived from the project
- Other scholarly deliverables including formats for professional
presentations and submissible papers
The Entry Level Occupational Therapy Doctorate Capstone: A Framework
for The Experience and Project will be the first of its kind to serve
as a textbook to provide recommendations that will benefit various
stakeholders among the capstone team.
