This paper is the culmination of
the work done over the term. The paper will bring together all your knowledge
and experience from your degree courses taken to date as well as the knowledge
derived from your placement related to your topic of interest. The final
product will discuss the original goal of the project and speak to how well
this goal was met. It will include a minimum of 4 course readings from this
term, 4 course readings from previous terms in BCMH, 5 scholarly readings from
external sources related to your topic, and any relevant documents and websites
from the organization where you carried out the key informant interview (a
minimum of 13 sources)
Part One (1.5 pages): The first half of the paper will demonstrate
everything you have learned about your topic of interest from the scholarly
literature, any practice-related work you have done and field research (key
informant interviews, websites, reports), drawing heavily from your Field
Research Report. Demonstrate your
knowledge and expertise in the subject, including identifying the gaps in
knowledge and dilemmas in practice. What makes this problem so challenging?
What treatment approaches/interventions have proven to work/not work? Make the
connections between the individuals and groups who are affected and the social
determinants of health.
Part Two (1.5 pages): The second half of the paper will include a critical reflexivity
element, where you consider your own unique social location in relation to the
knowledge developed through the project and/or how it influences your
professional practice. In this reflexivity piece, you will articulate a
philosophy of practice, which is the specific combination of knowledge, ethics,
skills and values that you will bring into the field in your own professional
practice. Consider the role of power and what anti-oppressive practice means to
you in this field. In this section, you will reflect on why you chose this
particular topic/field of practice, your own lived experience or lack of it in
relation to your topic, how your philosophy of practice is similar/different to
the key informant you interviewed, what you learned about yourself over the
course of the BCMH degree program and what impact you see yourself having as
you move into your career.
