Practicum Project

The DPH Practicum Project is a planned, supervised and evaluated experience that allows students to apply the knowledge and skills that they have acquired through learning experiences in a practice setting. The DPH Practicum Project requires 180 practicum hours that can be completed in a range of organizations across New York City or elsewhere. Students must document how the 180 practicum hours are spent. The student must complete a detailed learning plan, a summary report (that includes objectives), a self-evaluation, and a final report. It is the belief of the DPH Program and the CUNY School of Public Health that there is always a new topical, methodological, or positional approach that will allow students to gain new experience or skills or benefit from the additional practical experience. Therefore, the Practicum Project requirement cannot be waived, as even students with extensive experience in public health practice and leadership can benefit from applied public health experiences that they have not yet encountered in their careers.
