The DNP intensive practicum focuses on the delivery of fully accountable, evidenced based care for patients across clinical sites. The DNP student will demonstrate an integration of comprehensive assessment, advanced differential diagnosis, therapeutic intervention, evaluation of care for patients and synthesis of evidence-based practice with patients with a variety of conditions. In this context, the DNP student will organize and develop a professional portfolio.

This course offers an understanding of an interdisciplinary field of environmental, health and population history and will discuss historical and health, environmental and disease policy debates with a cross cutting, comparative relevance. This course uses global South Asia as a microcosm, and views it as a connected space with mobile human networks and migrations, and as an analytic lens to discuss critical, global debates on the politics of public health, the uses of science and power of experts and expertise in the South; and to analyze continuing structures of colonization, marginalization and the connected implications of globalization for environment and health in society. This course will help students analyze debates on the historical structures and transnational relations underlying colonization, decolonization and globalization in the domain of environment and health
They will be able to describe and explain how public health and environmental knowledge has been focused on prejudices and misconceptions relating to race, ethnicity, gender and poverty, that are also justified by narrow teleological, biological, ecological and social ideas and justifications. It focuses on several historical conjunctures and scales of historical analysis set in Asia and more widely in the global South, and aims to demonstrate and critique current social actors and multinational and local private, corporate interests that have limited equitable access to health, safe environments for communities and societies, and to see the pathways that have led to 'endemic risks' and crises to our global health and climate.
It is in a seminar format and expectations are to critically analyze, present readings build class participation and training in research paper writing, and strengthen conceptual methods and analysis of primary sources.
The DNP portfolio is designed to assist students in meeting CUSON DNP competencies as demonstrated in written case narrative and competency based clinical encounters. Students will be assigned a faculty member who will provide guidance in identifying appropriate patient encounters, reviewing and editing all written work associated with demonstrating competency-based learning. This course repeats sequentially for 3 semesters.
A candidate for the Eng.Sc.D. degree in biomedical engineering must register for 12 points of doctoral research instruction. Registration may not be used to satisfy the minimum residence requirement for the degree.
A candidate for the Eng.Sc.D. degree in mineral engineering must register for 12 points of doctoral research instruction. Registration in EAEE E9800 may not be used to satisfy the minimum residence requirement for the degree.

Internship for Film Research Arts Students Only
A candidate for the Eng.Sc.D. degree in mechanical engineering must register for 12 points of doctoral research instruction. Registration in MECE E9800 may not be used to satisfy the minimum residence requirement for the degree.
In the term following the passing of comprehensive examinations, doctoral candidates must register for a total of 6 points of instruction. Supervision and consultation are provided by the faculty to doctoral candidates in the courses of their selection of the dissertation topic, carrying out the prescribed research, and writing the dissertation. Library privileges are included.
Interenship for MFA Writing Research Arts Students
This seminar will be focused on close readings and discussion of social science approaches to the sciences and the making of knowledge with a special focus on the geosciences and other sciences of the earth. Beginning with readings by historians of science, then moving to anthropologies of science and STS studies, and culminating with anti-colonial approaches, students will be encouraged to think through their own disciplines and research. How do we study a place – and by extension – what is “place” and how do we relate to / know it? We will discuss the methods and ethics of ethnography and other forms of “community engagement” while exploring at least one community-based project for practical application. The community-based project will include optional hands-on workshops on the materiality of place, or, more specifically, on the potential role(s) of clay in addressing ecocide and military contamination through a case study in Puerto Rico.
Students will be expected to lead at least one discussion during the semester (can be in pairs), to submit weekly reflections between 1-2 paragraphs, and to respond to at least two other weekly reflections. Those taking the seminar for 3 credits will present a final paper, to be developed in consultation with the instructor.
Prerequisites: graduate standing. Students register in this course while preparing their M.Phil. examinations and prospectus--usually in the fall and spring of their third year.
This course is intended for PhD students who are engaged in relevant scholarly activities that are associated with dissertation research.
A candidate for the doctorate in biomedical engineering or applied biology may be required to register for this course in every term after the students course work has been completed and until the dissertation has been accepted.
