Community Health Practice Collaborative I

This is the first of a two-part series that together comprise the Applied PracticeExperience (APE) and Integrative Learning Experience (ILE) requirements for a CEPH-accredited MPH degree in Community Health. In this course, students work in groups with community organizations to gain real-world experience in the design of a public health project. In this course, students will be presented with several possible collaborative community health projects to work on as part of a group. Groups will comprise approximately five students, in partnership with members from the outside organization (e.g., CBO, health department, health center), and with guidance from the instructor. Depending on the nature of the topic, student groups will complete at least two project deliverables in satisfaction of the APE requirement (e.g., narrative review, data collection instrument, grant proposal, curriculum development, data collection, data analysis).
