PURPOSE

The Public Health Practice Experience is designed to provide the student with opportunities to gain practical experience in public health or community settings. It provides for diversity of experience and emphasizes public health practices. The Public Health Practice Experience offers the student an opportunity to gain further insight into public health content, problems, issues and opportunities. A well-conducted Public Health Practice Experience can be mutually rewarding for the student as well as for the supervising organization.

The Public Health Practice Experience will increase the student's knowledge of the principles and issues of public health, and the student's skills in the practice of public health.
