INTRODUCTION

The practicum is a capstone experience for

Public Health majors providing a public health

related work experience in their senior year. The

practicum enriches education by adding the vital

component of work experience for the student.

The experience allows students to explore and

clarify professional goals, establish post-

graduation job contacts, and acquire skills and

experiences related to career goals. The

internship program is designed to establish a

relationship with agencies and practitioners,

providing an opportunity for the exchange of

contemporary thinking among the faculty,

students, and practitioners, while providing

service to the community.

The type of work may vary depending upon the

setting, and may include experiences in a variety

of organizations (government\agencies,

volunteer agencies, private institutions, public

institutions, corporations, etc.). A wide range of

field experiences are expected through this

opportunity. You will be required to fulfill the

obligations outlined in this manual, as well as

perform the duties required by the supervising

agency you intern for.

The Public Health Practicum is offered under the

course number PH460 and is taken for 4 credit

hours. For each credit hour taken, the practicum

student must log 30 clock hours on the job site.

Since the practicum is taken along with other

classes as part of a student’s regular load, it is

important to plan a schedule that will

accommodate the extra hours and travel time.

ARRANGING THE

PRACTICUM/APPLICATION PROCESS

Students are responsible for coordinating with

the Public Health College Advisor for the

practicum. To secure a practicum site, the

student will need to:

1. Meet with the Public Health advisor the

semester prior to the practicum to discuss

the types of opportunities, procedures,

requirements, and expectations;

5

2. Prepare vita/resume;

the organizations and student’s

responsibilities are;

6. Attend a practicum orientation meeting with

the other practicum students and the

practicum instructor;

7. Begin the practicum experience within the

first two weeks of the new semester.

REQUIREMENTS

On the job site, practicum students represent

themselves as well as the college and the public

health program. The impressions a student

makes during the practicum may impact the

placement of future practicum students. Thus, it

is imperative that professionalism be a major

focus throughout the practicum. Students are

expected to be on time, follow through on tasks,

practice effective interpersonal skills, dress

appropriately, and maintain a positive attitude.

In addition to satisfactory worksite performance,

the following academic criteria must also be

fulfilled: (All reports and weekly logs submitted

by students must be typed.)

1. Attend orientation seminar at FLC;

2. Keep a written daily log of hours and

activities for each workday and submit a

weekly descriptive report of experiences on

Moodle;

3. Submit a Verification Form and Orientation

Report by the end of the first week of the

internship (form provided in this packet)

4. Submit a midterm and final evaluation from

the worksite supervisor (use form provided);

meet the criteria for the assigned credit

hours (120 hrs minimum for 4 hrs credit).

6. Submit a final report, Internship Final

Summary Paper (4 pages typed), to be

included in the portfolio binder.

PRACTICUM ACTIVITIES

Internship activities are mutually agreed upon by

the intern, advisor/college supervisor, and site

supervisor. The nature of activities and

experiences will vary depending upon the

organization. The following activities are

examples of the types of things you may wish to

pursue during the practicum:

1. Assist in the identification and diagnosis

of a program need or problem as

determined by the sponsoring

organization,

2. Fact finding as related to a program need

or problem, e.g., conducting literature

searches, writing reports, press releases,

news articles, etc.

3. Developing, coordinating, and

administering a program activity,

4. Attending professional meetings,

5. Attend staff meetings and special

functions;

6. Assisting in the preparation of special

reports, grant applications, and curricula,

7. Presenting health related information,

8. Assisting with program evaluation,

6

9. Develop educational displays and

presentations;

10. Working with the professional staff on an

interagency basis,

11. Visiting other health related agencies to

discuss networking or the types of services

they provide.

12. Develop news releases.

13. Conduct entry to mid-level work and

tasks (e.g., lab work), as directed.

14. Perform work unattended (e.g., data

mgt), as necessary.

15. Complete logs, file organization, and

journal entries, as directed and

necessary.

16. Assist Sr. professionals in execution of

upper level field and administrative

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Student Intern Role:

Completion of weekly reports, contact

hours, and agreed upon intern

activities/assignments, final portfolio binder,

presentation finals week, and self-

evaluation

Sponsoring Agency Role:

Completion of intern mid-way and final

evaluation form (form provided)

Ongoing supervision

FLC Public Health Program Role:

Evaluate weekly reports, contact hour

completion, self evaluation, and final report

portfolio

The final grade will be determined as follows:

Site Supervisor Evaluations1 = 40%

(Midterm evaluation = 20%; Final

Evaluation= 20%)

Weekly Reports = 20%

Final Report Internship Portfolio2 and

presentation at final meeting = 30%

Professionalism = 10%

1Supervisor evaluations will be determined by

multiplying 20 times the average of the total

scores for the final intern evaluation. For

example, if an intern received an average score

of 4.2 out of a possible 5.0, the score given will

be 84 for this category.

2All students are required to be in attendance at

the final internship meeting to submit portfolios

and give an oral presentation of their

experiences. Students who do not attend this

meeting automatically receive a deduction of

20% on their portfolio scores. Therefore, if a

student would normally receive a score of 93,

he/she would actually be given a grade of 73.

3Professionalism is based on timeliness of

weekly reports, mid-term evaluations, etc., as

well as the academic internship supervisor's

perception of the overall quality of the intern's

interactions with him or her. Students who are

consistently late with submitting requirements

receive a lower score.
