This course will inspire the student's growth in doctoral level thinking and professional curiosity.  Providing an overview of the culminating project, students are prepared to proactively explore areas of interest throughout the occupational therapy program as potential topics for the experiential internship and capstone.  Additionally, students gain dialectical and critical analysis skills relating to occupational therapy history, literature, and theory in application to the profession today and in the future. Students will be in class 30 hours for didactic instruction and seminar-style discussion.  The course culminates with a critical analysis paper exploring a potential capstone topic.
