The University is searching for ways for a doctoral student to make a contribution to the profession and has elected to promote the value of publishable case reports and/or articles reflecting information important to the profession.  The Capstone Project is a summation of the body of knowledge learned during the degree program.  It is designed to assist the student in critically reviewing professional literature and being able to express ideas using a scientific style of writing.  These manuscripts will require a good deal of time commitment and assistance from an assigned faculty advisor.  It is anticipated that, after completion of this written project, a student will be ready to submit the manuscript to an appropriate journal for review and possible publication or be able to submit the material for an oral or poster presentation at a professional meeting.
