PBHL 575 - Integrated Learning ExperienceCredits: 1,2
This course allows students to integrate their learning experience into a practice-based project, a research-based capstone or an essay-based comprehensive exam. The final product of each option will highlight the student’s ability to contribute to social changes to positively impact community health. In the practice-based project, the student will apply proven methods to monitor the health status of a community, investigate unusual occurrences of diseases or other conditions and implement preventive control measures based on current understanding of public health sciences. Students may also collect and analyze health data for the purpose of protecting the health of a particular community. In the research-based capstone, the student will test new strategies that are not known to be efficacious or explore novel approaches to public health needs. Thus, the research report will include the design of the study, rigorous monitoring of health outcomes and unexpected consequences to human subjects in the application of new experiments/interventions. The student will collect new data or use secondary data and analyze them for the purpose of generating knowledge. The essay-based comprehensive examination provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate and fully integrate most of their public health skills acquired in the MPH program through the creative design, implementation and evaluation plans of a health and wellness program. This will evaluate the student’s ability to integrate knowledge, apply theory to practice, think logically and communicate effectively.
