This paper presents the rationale and structure for a data-centered capstone project that provides an engaging and effective learning experience for students. Groups of students both select topics and self-direct research. Students are responsible for collecting, analyzing, and presenting data in both written and verbal forms. The project cultivates the ability to work as a team, communicate effectively, and explore and interpret data. We describe a method for involving external stakeholders including alumni, Executive Advisory Board members, or community business professionals. Extensive flexibility of the project allows variability in the conceptual focus, types of deliverables, and the mode of delivery.

- A study was conducted to explore the growth and features of PA-specific post professional doctoral programs in the U.S. over the last decade, focusing on their structure and outcomes.
- The research identified 24 accredited programs, mostly under three years old, with a significant proportion based in private institutions and geared exclusively towards physician assistants (PAs).
- The analysis revealed variations in program delivery, such as online vs. in-person formats and different areas of concentration, as well as inconsistencies in research education expectations and requirements across programs.
Work-integrated learning (WIL) is integral to most health disciplines' profession-qualifying degree programs. To analyse the categories, locales and foci of final-year (capstone), health information management professional practice (WIL) placements, 2012-2021, at La Trobe University, Australia.
