The MPH Practicum Symposium this month is hosted by students in both the School of Public Health and in the School of Medicine to showcase the work that over 100 MPH students have done. This event brings together students, families, faculty, site supervisors, donors, agency and academic leaders, and more to celebrate students’ practice work, faculty mentorship, and community partnership.
From across the globe, to our own backyard, students have applied their skills to investigate the health effects of climate change, assess healthcare facilities in Ukraine, improve refugee health through education and outreach programs, develop toolkits for preventing and responding to infectious disease outbreaks among people experiencing homelessness, and much more.
This is an opportunity for students to learn from each other and exchange ideas about agency-based and field-based projects as well as opportunities in public health/global health—an interdisciplinary field that draws from many areas, including medicine.
Zoom sessions will be available for those who need to participate virtually. More details about the event can be found on the symposium website.
