On Tuesday, October 15, second-year HSB-65 students took part in a poster session for the Practicum and Culminating Experience for Health & Social Behavior course. Each second-year student had a chance to present their field experience to first-year HSB-65 students in small groups. Topics ranged from supporting skin cancer patients with treatment decisions to looking at how the media might influence firearm policy. Presentations had to include information about the host organization, the issues being addressed, and key takeaways from the field experience. The session provided first year students with opportunities to ask questions, and gain an understanding of how the summer practicum is integrated into the MPH-65 degree program. It also gave second-year students a chance to practice their presentation skills prior to the School-wide MPH-65 Field Practice Poster Night on Tuesday, November 12.
