HLTH MGT 730 / Scholarly Paper

6 unit(s)

This full course is designed as an opportunity for graduate course based students to demonstrate, in writing, their ability to integrate ideas that reflect current knowledge in areas of health management practice, education, research, and/or policy. The scholarly paper is to demonstrate integrative thinking at a general and abstract level. A student will identify a topic, in consultation with a faculty advisor with expertise in the area, and develop a proposal that is individualized to the student’s area of interest. The student will then develop the paper under the guidance of a faculty member. The paper must be 25 to 30 pages, excluding references and appendices. The paper does not typically involve the collection or analysis of primary data or the conduct of research with subjects. It is a scholarly essay, not a thesis.
