APEX: Advanced Practical Experience in Public Health Seminar—Study Abroad

1 unit

This Advanced Practical EXperience in Public Health Study Abroad (APEX SA) course bridges the gap between public health theory and skills, providing students who study abroad the opportunity to reflect on the practical knowledge and experience needed for real-world public health engagement. Students who are enrolled in one of the approved Study Abroad Programs and complete an internship or other, approved community engaged public health work will enhance their skills and knowledge through reflection on their abroad activities to better prepare them for the realities of public health practice. APEX SA requires that students participate in the pre-departure training, regular reflection writing while abroad, and the 1- credit once-a-week seminar the semester after the study abroad experience
