Overview
- Learner goals and capabilities
-
Applied Practice Experience in Public Health. Bring on one or more students from The University of North Dakota in the Public Health to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available for a minimum of 135 hours of placement from May 2021 to August 2021, and can be extended per agreement with student and UND. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
The practicum is conducted in partnership with an agency or organization that provides a public health service, in the broad sense of public health. The organization may be a public health department, another government agency, such as the Indian Health Service, or a non-governmental organization, such as a hospital, other health care provider, or a community organization.
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project, yet we require students to complete 2 distinct deliverables. The student should complete a minimum of 135 hours with your organization by August 2021.
Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.
Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Research project, or part of a research project
- Community health intervention, or part of one
- Public policy analysis, or part of one
- Other project that relates to the planning, implementing, managing, or evaluating of a public health service, program, or initiative
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact regularly and as needed.
Be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm that your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
