Abstract
This presentation examines a capstone project designed to improve confidence and content retention for graduate therapy students preparing for Fieldwork 2 (FW2). By integrating online learning modules with in-person lab reviews, the project addresses challenges such as limited experiential learning opportunities and low confidence levels in clinical practice. The approach, rooted in David Kolb's principles of experiential learning, provides students with practical opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge. Pretest and post-test assessments indicate improvements in students' confidence and understanding of fieldwork concepts.
