PH 575 - Practicum & Seminar


Practicum experiences expose students to the complexity of population-based public health practice in the “real world”. Students will be able to integrate, apply and synthesize knowledge though experiential activities in the public health work environment. Sites may include local and state public health agencies, local non-profits, community-based organizations, state associations, hospitals and community clinics. All students are expected to complete 125 hours of practicum work experience in a structured setting with agency leadership support. Students will have defined project oriented work assigned to them as agreed upon by the student and the agency. Students will need to produce a tangible deliverable to satisfactorily complete the practicum experience. This may include a draft proposal; literature review; analysis/evaluation of agency program; report on significant participation of or development of an event; creation of a public service announcement, brochure, flyer and/or media release. Students will also be required to participate in weekly online seminars to share lessons learned. A final oral presentation of the experience and product as well as an evaluation of the experience is required.
