Practicum Resource Toolbox for Students and Preceptors
The practicum is an essential part of our college's Master of Public Health (MPH) program, providing students with the opportunity to combine theory and practice in one academic experience.
MPH students should begin the practicum enrollment process and meet with the Practicum Coordinator two semesters prior to beginning the practicum. For instance, MPH students planning to begin their practicum in the summer must begin the process in the fall. Not adhering to this process could result in graduation delays.
See below for some important resources to help you navigate the practicum as either a student or preceptor.
