As more national attention is focused on preparing the public health workforce to meet the challenges of the 21st century, the Department of Epidemiology has begun devoting more resources and placing increased emphasis on expanding the types and quality of practicum experiences available to its master's students.
The practicum experience is intended to provide students with an out-of-the-classroom experience in a public health setting. This webpage is a good place to become acquainted with the practicum requirement and to learn about resources that can enhance your practicum experience. It will provide you with a general overview, including who needs to do a practicum, how to find a practicum, when to start looking, when to do a practicum, and how to access training and testing for the Good Clinical Practices and HIPAA Patient Privacy certifications that should be completed prior to beginning a practicum. Visit here for convenience in acquiring forms, procedures and guidelines, or information on upcoming events, international visas, immunizations, travel requirements, and practicum opportunities within Mailman, NYC, CDC, NIH, and other domestic and international locations.
