HCA 540 Fieldwork
At the end of the program, students are required to do two credits of fieldwork with supervision by a faculty member and a field preceptor. Field projects are designed by students and faculty so they round out a student's leadership "portfolio" in terms of the NCHL Leadership Model, skill acquisition and career development. The field projects are presented and defended to the faculty and fellow students. Students choose from the following options for fieldwork: 1. A health care research, management research, or policy-analysis paper of publishable quality (the potential journals must be identified and the research be designed, conducted, and reported according to one of the journals standards) 2. A short-term internship within a health care institution (a project must be described and submitted, demonstrating quantitative and/or financial analytic competency).
