Students will engage in an experiential learning placement in a public health setting under the direction of a preceptor (or shared preceptorship within a team). This hands-on opportunity will enrich graduate training by allowing students to integrate and apply skills and knowledge gained through graduate coursework in the Public Health specialization in a variety of public health work environments. This practicum opportunity will offer advanced placements at local, provincial and national levels that will challenge and build leadership and advanced research, program and policy skills in public health. This is a pass/fail course. To be successful, students must meet all learning objectives and requirements for the practicum. Students must complete a minimum of 112 hours, and up to 420 hours, depending on their placement agreement.
