reflection on your work and experiences in this course

/in /by

Create a 2-page reflection on your work and experiences in this course.

Doctoral-level health care professionals have many opportunities to reflect on their contributions to their field and organization. After completing any portion of a project, it is important to evaluate how well it met its objectives. Such evaluation enables practitioners and leaders to explore and reflect on their experiences and identify opportunities for future improvement.

This assessment provides an opportunity for you to reflect on your achievements, challenges, and improvement opportunities related to your work on your doctoral project and at your project site during this course. By reflecting on these areas, you can deepen your critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as locate your position on your project journey as you progress to the next course.

One way you could organize your reflection is to take a simplified gap-analysis approach for each of the four main topics for the reflection:

· What happened?

. What did you do and what were the results of your work?

. Remember to mention the relevant evidence you used to guide your approach to your work.

· What went well?

· What did not go well?

. How did actual events differ from your predictions?

. If relevant, mention the evidence that helped you formulate your prediction about what should have happened.

· How are your experiences changing your thinking, analysis, and communication patterns?

. How can you use this information to improve?

. If relevant, look to the literature to support your potential changes.

While you may use any appropriate approach to organize your reflection, be sure that you address the following scoring guide criteria
:

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your QI/PI framework.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to the development of your project implementation plan and logic model.

· Reflect on process, outcomes, success, and opportunities for improvement related to collaboration and other relevant work at the project site.

· Integrate support from scholarly and authoritative sources to strengthen claims and substantiate decision making.
