DPH 7083 - Consulting Practicum

This academic activity is a planned, guided, supervised and evaluated experience designed to develop skills in basic public health concepts among the students and demonstrate the application of these concepts through activities that are relevant to students’ areas of specialization in public health 6.
The applied practice experiences allow each student to demonstrate a minimum of five foundational and/or concentration-specific competencies (as defined in Criteria D3 and D4) that are reinforced and/or assessed through application. The program may either choose at least one competency from the leadership, management and governance domain in Criterion D3 or choose a concentration-specific competency identified in Criterion D4 if it relates to leadership skills. Competencies may differ from student to student.
Regardless of the amount or level of prior experience, all DPH students must engage in one or more applied practice experiences in which students are responsible for completion of at least one project that is meaningful for an organization and to advanced public health practice 7. DPH programs ensure that graduates have significant advanced-level practical experiences collaborating with practitioners, allowing opportunities to develop leadership competencies and contribute to the field.8.
