CDS Dissertation Guide on CDS Central:
o
o
Introduction
Background of the Problem (remember that the problem should be developed from
the literature)
Dissertation: Topic: HealthCare Workforce
Develop your opening paragraph and background of the study or problem. The
opening paragraph/statement should bring the reader into the topic, while the
background of the study/problem should frame the problem and identify the gaps
and/or deficiencies from prior research. It is important to present why the study
should be pursued and for whom the study is important.
Note: If you do not clearly define your problem this week, it will become
increasingly difficult for you to complete additional deliverables throughout the
class given the way that the problem ties into so many facets of your dissertation.
Adhere to the “Doctoral Phase 2 – Precis” template provided in the CDS Dissertation
Guide.
This section should be 3-4 pages long. You may use previous coursework when
developing your dissertation phase deliverables.
Be sure to support all aspects with peer-reviewed literature and include APA
formatted references.
Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
