Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

The Practicum is the “capstone” of the Health Services Management (HSM) and the Health Information Management (HIM) programs at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University. It is for credit and unpaid.

During Practicum, students are provided the opportunity to apply management theory and concepts in a working environment. Specifically, they conduct a project that addresses a management issue experienced by your healthcare organization, within the context of their understanding of organizational systems.

Practicum placement occurs between 4 and 6 months prior to the actual seminar, when students are actually on site working on their project, (July to September for the winter course, March to May for the fall course).


Expected outcomes and deliverables

From identifying a management issue experienced by your healthcare organization, students will create one of the following:

a) A research report (including evaluations), or

b) A new product and process report

Project Examples

Students will :

  • Analyze a managerial issue in a health services organization and design a course of investigation that will lead to an evidence-based and results-oriented outcome
  • Differentiate between opinion and reasoned argument in addressing the dimensions of an issue
  • Organize and express their own thoughts pertaining to issues clearly and coherently, both orally (presentation) and in writing in the form of a Research Report, or a Process Report and the Product of the process. Examples of Products include educational/information booklet (Smoking Cessation Teaching poster or Living in Long-Term Care: A Guide), an evaluation tool, and an e-Learning module
