PUBH 307 Public Health Practicum
The community health internship course is designed to provide students with real-world experiences to develop new skills and enhance insights into myriad community health issues and solutions. Under supervision of the course instructor and in collaboration with a community proctor/partner students will intern for two, 4-hour days a week at a health focused non-profit organization community clinic or government agency. Through the internship and course work, students explore and analyze the social, cultural, and systematic barriers to health in Los Angeles and the U.S. Students reflect on and discuss the complexities of keeping communities healthy, considering the impact of policy, identity, power, urban planning and culture. Before registering students must check with the course instructor to review their semester schedule and determine how the internship will fit into their school week. Students are encouraged to register early for this course in order to identify partner sites that can support their learning goals. Prerequisite:
