PUBH 590 Applied Practice Experience

The Applied Practice Experience (APEx) provides students with the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills from their MPH coursework to real-world public health challenges in community and organizational settings. The APEx is a 160-hour field experience in which students work with public, private, or community-based organizations, producing at least two deliverables that demonstrate attainment of three CEPH foundational competencies and two program-specific competencies. Group projects may be approved if each student’s role and contributions are clearly defined. Each student must complete their own APEx deliverables and academic assignments.​ This course may be repeated for up to 4 credits.
