PH 7998Public Health Capstone

Catalog

Graduate Students Only The main purpose of this course is to provide the culminating, integrative curricular experience for students enrolled in SFC's Master of Public Health program during their last semester prior to graduation. As such, the course draws on students' prior training in the core areas of public health, their required course work and their "real world" experience gained in the field prior to their graduation. In particular, the capstone class is closely linked to the MPH practicum. More than just providing a review of the MPH curriculum, however, the Capstone is designed to challenge students to reflect and integrate their training and experience with the goal of developing their own individual point of view regarding the role of public health in contributing to the improvement of the health and wellbeing of populations in the United States, as well as abroad.
