The project must have preliminary approval by both the preceptor and faculty member. The following project formats are among those acceptable: poster, pamphlet, staff in-service, class in the community, presentation at a local or regional professional meeting. The faculty member will observe the teaching session or critique the visual project.
Each student will also give a presentation about the project in the 8111 seminar.
