DMS桥梁项目课程
The DMS 桥项目 incorporates 36-credit hours already completed during supervised clinical practice experiences (SCPE) from your entry-level master’s degree program. The program curriculum includes two phases—the initial seven-week didactic course portion, 然后是一个学期的顶点项目.
在教学课程部分, the student is encouraged to not work due to the intensive, 全日制课程的性质. Students must be available for synchronous and asynchronous online activities during that time.
The program’s 顶石 Project is firmly grounded in biostatistics and research design and can be taken on a part-time basis. It is anticipated the typical student will complete their 顶石 Project in one semester. If the 顶石 Project is not completed at the end of the term, students will be required to enroll in a 顶石 Continuation Course to maintain active enrollment with the program. The 顶石 must be completed within one year of starting the project or unless permission is obtained by the DMS 桥项目 Director. During the semester-long 顶石 Project, students may choose to work clinically.

This module extends students understanding of leadership and the impact of quality and patient safety on patient care. 主题将包括可预防的影响, adverse medical events on patients and medical professionals; prepares students to identify and participate in corrective strategies that improve quality and safety throughout their practice; and develops and nurtures a culture of quality and safety that enhances patient satisfaction and quality of care outcomes. Topics within leadership will include fundamentals of leadership, 领导力和专业精神自我评估, 以及领导哲学. 学习者将学习专业技能, 最佳领导实践和行为, 处理冲突. Learners will apply this to their personal and professional life through a series of practical exercises. Prerequisites: Completion of entry-level PA program, NCCPA认证, 以及进入桥梁项目的资格. 夏天，春天，秋天
This course is designed to prepare the student to apply concepts of introductory statistical analysis to health-related investigations. Skills developed in this course emphasize a systematic and scientific approach to problem solving and a process for interpreting biomedical literature. The course provides the student with instruction in descriptive and inferential statistics, properly selecting the most appropriate statistical test for a given research question and data set, 进行假设检验, 构建置信区间. Statistical software is used to analyze datasets that demonstrate each of the most commonly encountered statistical tests. This course will primarily focus on conducting and interpreting the results of the most commonly employed statistical methods in the most commonly used designs in health research.

The course will primarily focus on clinical quality improvement design 和分析. The class will provide an overview of the various steps of the clinical research process such as problem formulation, 假设一代, 研究设计, 测量, 数据收集, 和分析. The course will be dedicated to applying research design and biostatistical analysis concepts. 在这个独立学习的过程中, the student will complete a research/ clinical project and present the results of the research or the project. Prerequisite: Completion of DMS-BR778, DMS-BR780, and DMS-BR782 (G)(5) Fall, Summer, Spring
For any additional semester after the initial 顶石 Project, the student will register for a 顶石 Continuation Course with a continuing service charge to maintain the students’ enrollment. 每学期结束的时候, students who do not finish but demonstrate progress on their 顶石 will earn a DEF (deferred) grade. A student’s progress through capstone continuation may increase their total number of degree credits beyond the required credits. Prerequisite: DMS-BR784 (P/DEF/F) (G)(3) Fall, Spring, Summer
