The Master of Public Health

Fieldwork

Unlike traditional internships, the fieldwork project is meant to include practical experience in community settings, application of research methods, and help students achieve their personal career goals. The objective of the fieldwork project is to provide students with the opportunity to apply the theory and skills, particularly research skills, learned in the classroom. Particular skills targeted include: reviewing and critiquing research literature, managing background data, selecting appropriate interventions based on theory and previous evaluation activities, planning and implementation of a formal project, developing tools and systems necessary for project completion, collecting and analyzing data, time management, and interpersonal skills.
