Fall, Winter, Spring. The supervised practicum is intended to provide professional program students with an opportunity to apply course learning in a health or health system setting. The placement may involve any of the activities or functions of students' field of study: public health, informatics, evaluation, etc. A contract stipulating practicum objectives, and work to be completed and evaluated to meet these objectives, must be jointly approved by the student, the student's field supervisor, and the course instructor. A written report by the student, together with products produced during the practicum and interim and final feedback from the field supervisor, are used by the course instructor to evaluate student performance. Completion of all prerequisite coursework is required before commencing the practicum.
