Student practice is an essential component in the training of public health practitioners. Thus the Division works closely with the Office for Educational Programs to support practicum placement opportunities for students obtaining an MPH degree and also to create, support, and recognize additional practice opportunities or experiences for HSPH students in all degree programs.
Additional practice experiences include the Division's annual Agency Information Fair, supporting the Student Advisory Committee which has oversight of small student brown-bag seminars devoted to practice, collaborating with the Division Advisory Council subcommittee on Practice, helping to create and foster mentor relationships, and support of the Gareth M. Green Prize for Excellence in Public Health Practice and the James H. Ware Award for Achievement in the Practice of Public Health.
