HPM 233 Practicum in Health Policy and Management
The practicum takes place over four trimesters as part of a “health policy and management rotation.” These internship rotations will be based on the interests of the student and will be developed with a mentor in close proximity to the student’s life and work situation. The various rotations will include internships in administrative, research, government, and clinical settings. The practicums provides students opportunities to integrate and apply classroom knowledge while learning practical skills necessary for careers in healthcare management, health policy, comparative outcomes research, and public health. Students work under the supervision of an individual practicum preceptor, allowing them to clarify their career goals and opening opportunities for health policy and management positions after graduation. The student and preceptor will tailor the individual assignments towards the content of the student’s capstone project. (Taken 1 credit per trimester for a total of 4 credits.)
