MPH 7910 - Comprehensive Exam

The Integrative Learning Experience is an integrating experience, requisite for graduation in the Master in Public Health (MPH) degree of Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) and for the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). It provides an opportunity for students to reflect on, integrate and synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired during classroom and practice experiences, while pursuing their public health degree. The Integrative Learning Experience serves as evidence of compliance with the public health competencies and occurs after the majority of course requirements are completed. The Integrative Learning Experience is a high quality-written product that demonstrates synthesis of competencies (CEPH, personal communication, March 14, 2019; CEPH, personal communication, May 28, 2019). MPH graduates must be able to engage in substantive, logically flowing writing (https://ceph.org/constituents/schools/faqs/2016criteriafaq/ile/).
