The student may not take the Elective until their practicum proposal is approved by the course director from SOMA and the practicum faculty advisor from the CGHS. The proposal for any projects that involve human subjects must also be submitted to the ATSU institutional review board. The student must also have a preceptor on location and a faculty advisor from the School of Health Management. The course director can serve as the faculty advisor from SOMA, but a SCGHS faculty advisor is also required.
A formal write up of the experience in the form of a scholarly paper or innovations project paper is required for completion of the Elective. The student will also be required to present an oral report. It may be required that the ‘oral report’ be recorded electronically.
