Preventive Medicine, Epidemiology, and Public Health

Catalog description

In this course, students will acquire knowledge through the application of the Interprofessional Experience (IPE) and the implementation of the Community-Based Research Project. Students will apply concepts acquired throughout the year to implement and then present their community-based research project. This group activity is the culmination of work which first began in block 2. Students partnered with a community site to develop a health education activity. Students will work in groups to finalize all plans and implement their projects in their assigned community. Student groups are expected to collect data and present their findings in a poster presentation. The purpose of this experience is to provide our students with the tools needed to assess research questions in the collaboration of community experts. Additionally, this course includes a cumulative IPE experience focusing on the competency of Teams and Teamwork. •
