HLTH 250 - Public Health Practicum I

This course is designed to provide students with a structured opportunity to observe public health professionals in their work setting for a minimum of 40 clock hours per credit hour. Students typically shadow or assist a clinical health or public health administration professional. Those in clinical settings will have very limited, if any, opportunity for hands-on experience. Students in administrative settings are more likely to have active roles within the organization. Each student develops personalized learning objectives for her or his specific work setting based on the competencies of the Certified Health Education Specialist and completes a number of written assignments reflecting on his or her observations and experiences in the workplace. The one credit course is repeatable for a cumulative total of 3 credits.

Prerequisites: Grade of C or better in HLTH 255 - Introduction to Community and Public Health and HLTH 290 - Principles of Health Education and Health Science, Health Science majors only.
