This course series emphasizes reflective learning, appreciative inquiry, and self-awareness exercises to promote each student’s personal engagement with the curriculum and support their professional development. In small groups facilitated by faculty advisors, students continuously define, achieve and refine their learning goals, and define their doctoral capstone topic. Special attention is given to the cultivation of resilience, clarity of purpose, self-responsibility, and professionalism. This course assures that students are well acquainted with the three components of the capstone project (written report, oral presentation and professional growth). Students refine the focus of their project, which may be on any approved topic pertinent to classical Chinese medicine. By the end of the course, students have produced an abstract and a preliminary outline for their project report and chosen a capstone project committee, which will guide them in the completion of the project.
