Unit 2 Discussion

Whom to Contact? Whom to Consider?

While it is still early in your doctoral education process, it is important to begin thinking about where you might complete your doctoral capstone project and who could be your preceptor.

Use this discussion as a place to solicit feedback from your instructor and peers.

Consider the following:

Do you live in a rural setting?

What resources would you need to be successful in this process?

Do you have access to professionals in your discipline with graduate degrees, preferably doctorates, who could serve as your preceptor?

Are you currently working in a health care or public health setting?

If so, is there someone you could ask for guidance in this area?

What skills do you need to be comfortable in an informational interview when you must secure the site and preceptor for your project?

What are at least three questions you plan to use in your leadership or preceptor interview for feedback?

Refer to the guidelines in the FEM as you prepare your post.

Unit 4 Discussion

Leadership Profile

One of the best ways to understand leadership is through the evaluation of self and others. Our personal case studies document who we are and who we might want to become. From your analysis, you will begin to develop a personal philosophy of leadership, which will guide you in your health care or public health career.

In your previous courses, you identified a leadership theory or style that aligned with your views of leadership. For this discussion, expand on this theory or style and analyze what you have learned about yourself to describe your personal leadership philosophy. Provide a brief example from your experience where emotional intelligence was used—or could have been used—to improve or facilitate a complex situation. Consider how this relates to the theory or style you have identified as your own.

Be sure to include at least one APA-formatted citation (in-text plus full reference). The citation may be from your course text, assigned readings, or an outside source.

Remember to follow the requirements for discussions addressed in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences Faculty Expectations message (FEM).
