Capstone II Requirements:

Attendance to all Capstone II offerings is a graduation requirement. 

As part of your participation in the Capstone course, you will be required to complete the Program Evaluation Survey section of the Association of American Medical Colleges' 2008 Graduation Questionnaire (GQ).  We are providing this information to you now since many of you may have time to complete the 2008 GQ survey over the next several weeks.  However, if you are unable to complete the survey before the Capstone course begins, there will be a scheduled session on one afternoon of the Capstone week for you to do this required component of the course.  If you are able to complete the GQ survey before the Capstone course begins, you will have that afternoon time free.
