This course describes program requirements; university, college, and program policy; and offers information about the full range of resources available to the students in support of their program. It also offers basic tutorial and instruction related to the use of Moodle (our learning management system), library resources, and other key tools used to support student learning.

Involves independent research based on archival primary sources culminating in a paper of approximately 60 to 80 pages under the supervision of two historians with expertise in the subject area. Requires consent from the history archives management director and a proposal approved during the semester before the course is taken. See program director for guidelines and due dates to submit proposals.

This course provides an overview of the major research and theories related to how adults learn. Students read and discuss key concepts in this area, relating the ideas to their specific health professions education areas of focus. Students design and facilitate an online lesson and a creative professional project that provides them with experience teaching online and creating resources for future use. This course models several key principles of adult learning, including relevancy, connecting to prior learning, Universal Design, integrating choice, reflection, and project-based learning.

This course guides students through an exploration of multiple bodies of literature which will serve as a platform for the development of a dissertation topic. Using concept mapping and intensive library research, students explore the theoretical foundations, research methods, and constructs associated with their areas of interest and focus on identifying potentially researchable, answerable, and meaningful questions for further dissertation inquiry. Students master the process of synthesizing literature to form coherent problem statements and identify relevant constructs. At the end of the course, students will identify potential members for a dissertation committee.

During this course, the student will complete the research and pass an oral defense of the dissertation. Students enter this phase when ready for data collection, meaning that a written dissertation proposal has been defended, approved, and revised, if needed, and all IRB permissions have been obtained. The six credits for this course are generally spread over two semesters.

If the dissertation is not defended after the completion of the allotted dissertation credits and the student has exhausted the 48-credit program of study, the student will be required to register for 1 credit per semester of Dissertation Extension for each semester of continuation. This fee is beyond the 48 credits assigned to the PhD program. Such students will register for CNBH 699-Dissertation Extension each semester until the dissertation is successfully defended and following time limits as defined in the HPED Handbook.
