HPH 581 - Capstone
This course will assist students in synthesizing basic public health knowledge through completion of several competency- driven learning experiences. Most core and concentration course work must be completed before the student can participate in Capstone. Students will be introduced to the process of writing grant proposals and developing budgets, professional networking with non-academic community partners, publishing in the scientific literature; communicating practice-based projects in both oral and poster presentation formats, and planning for their future careers as public health professionals. They will self-assess their own conflict styles and apply negotiation and mediation skills to address community and/or organizational challenges, and reflect on their conflict styles when considering case studies. Students will also engage in inter-professional education learning activities to improve their understanding and communication of their roles, values/ethics, and how to work effectively as part of an inter-professional team. Students will apply systems thinking to a case study to create a logic model that demonstrates the complex systems involved in a population health issue. Lastly, they will present their own work as part of their Practicum to fellow students, and discuss career plans.
