This is the beginning "gateway" course for the Health Professions Education program. The course reviews some of the national and international trends that are affecting health professions education and defining new teaching and learning needs in the health professions. It introduces basic elements of educational theory, practice, and research related to health professions education. It also introduces concepts of leadership and innovation related to health professions education program design and development.

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 provides students the opportunity to put into practice the theories, concepts, principles, and research explored in previous courses in the HPED or CAGS program. Synthesis and integration of theory and practice are the focus of this experience. This blended course will operate in three areas: (1) a practicum, which takes place at a location of the student's choosing and involves about 100 hours of immersion in an educational experience consistent with the student's career goals; (2) an online community of practice, which will involve discussion posting; and (3) three in-person meetings during the semester. For students at a distance, participation may occur via GoToMeeting.

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.

This second course in the statistics sequence covers: correlation, simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, simple logistic regression, and multiple logistic regression. The course will make extensive use of statistical software packages. The goal of the course is to provide students with the ability to identify the appropriate statistical method for their data, analyze the data, and interpret the output in the context of the problem.

This course examines principles of effective and inclusive educational leadership and explores techniques for facilitating institutional reform and innovation in a variety of health professions education settings. It also explores contemporary organizational theory and research relevant to health professions education and change management. It introduces operational and administrative problems related to the design, implementation, and evaluation of innovation in health professions education.</span>

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.
