DRPH8190 Experiential Project
Learners in this course integrate the theory, research, and practice knowledge gained during the program in a final experiential project and corresponding white paper. Learners attend a recognized professional fellowship, advocate for a public health program or policy, or design a work project that meets the needs of a recognized public health organization and develop a white paper. The white paper, which incorporates the tenets of action research and follows the publication standards of an appropriate peer-reviewed journal, includes an evaluation of the project topic and provides specific recommendations for action. Though this course requires communication and collaboration with stakeholders in an organization, it is a learner-driven experience that does not involve on-site supervision. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
