Pre-Practicum

PH 4030 is the first course in the two-course undergraduate Practicum series and focuses on orienting students to field-based internships, identifying opportunities tailored to individual students interests and needs, preparing the students for internship application procedures (including drafting and revising resumes, cover letters, and introductory emails and practicing interview skills), and contextualizing the internship program as part of a larger career development framework. This course includes guest lectures from local public health professionals on selected topics like networking, community member participation in panel presentations, reviewing student resumes, and mock interviews.
