Starting anew

New Look!

New site. New look. New bloggers. We needed a change and wanted to start of the summer with a new site and look! Every year we have our Master of Public Health (MPH) students blog about their practicum experience. The practicum is a planned, mentored, and evaluated work experience (paid or unpaid) that enables students to integrate and apply their Gillings MPH training in a professional public health setting, locally or globally. This year we have a record 38 students blogging this summer! We are happy that some of our students will be based internationally, while others will be based locally.

We have a diverse group of bloggers from the MPH concentrations of:

  • Applied Epidemiology
  • Global Health
  • Health Behavior
  • Leadership in Practice
  • Maternal, Child, and Family Health
  • Nutrition and
  • Population Health for Clinicians

We hope you enjoy reading about our students summer experiences!
