Students are required to maintain weekly reflective narratives
throughout the course to combine into one course-long reflective
journal that integrates leadership and inquiry into current practice
as it applies to the Professional Capstone and Practicum course.
In your journal, you will reflect on the personal knowledge and
skills gained throughout this course. The journal should address a
variable combination of the following, depending on your specific
practice immersion clinical experiences:
- New practice approaches
- Intraprofessional
collaboration - Health care delivery and clinical systems
- Ethical considerations in health care
- Population health
concerns - The role of technology in improving health care
outcomes - Health policy
- Leadership and economic
models - Health disparities
Students will outline what they have discovered about their
professional practice, personal strengths and weaknesses that
surfaced, additional resources and abilities that could be introduced
to a given situation to influence optimal outcomes, and finally, how
the student met the competencies aligned to this course.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment,
solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and
references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,
which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student
Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to
beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for
successful completion.
The course lasts 10 weeks so I’m required to write a paragraph for each week addressing the points above. My practice is being held on a general practice medical office for patients 18 and older which pretty much is just a doctor’s office where patients come with all sort of concerns and I’m under the supervision of a nurse practitioner who is the one that sees the patients most of the time. My capstone project will be related to the effects of diet on controlling diabetes mellitus even though the journals dont have to be strictly related to that topic, they are just a reflection of the skills and knowledge that I gained through these weeks. The population visiting the clinic are mostly Hispanics and Caucasians with Hispanics being the majority.
