INTRODUCTION
The practicum is a capstone experience for
Public Health majors providing a public health
related work experience in their senior year. The
practicum enriches education by adding the vital
component of work experience for the student.
The experience allows students to explore and
clarify professional goals, establish post-
graduation job contacts, and acquire skills and
experiences related to career goals. The
internship program is designed to establish a
relationship with agencies and practitioners,
providing an opportunity for the exchange of
contemporary thinking among the faculty,
students, and practitioners, while providing
service to the community.
The type of work may vary depending upon the
setting, and may include experiences in a variety
of organizations (government\agencies,
volunteer agencies, private institutions, public
institutions, corporations, etc.). A wide range of
field experiences are expected through this
opportunity. You will be required to fulfill the
obligations outlined in this manual, as well as
perform the duties required by the supervising
agency you intern for.
The Public Health Practicum is offered under the
course number PH460 and is taken for 4 credit
hours. For each credit hour taken, the practicum
student must log 30 clock hours on the job site.
Since the practicum is taken along with other
classes as part of a student’s regular load, it is
important to plan a schedule that will
accommodate the extra hours and travel time.

ARRANGING THE
PRACTICUM/APPLICATION PROCESS
Students are responsible for coordinating with
the Public Health College Advisor for the
practicum. To secure a practicum site, the
student will need to:
1. Meet with the Public Health advisor the
semester prior to the practicum to discuss
the types of opportunities, procedures,
requirements, and expectations;
5
2. Prepare vita/resume;

what they are looking for and discuss what
the organizations and student’s
responsibilities are;
6. Attend a practicum orientation meeting with
the other practicum students and the
practicum instructor;
7. Begin the practicum experience within the
first two weeks of the new semester.
REQUIREMENTS
On the job site, practicum students represent
themselves as well as the college and the public
health program. The impressions a student
makes during the practicum may impact the
placement of future practicum students. Thus, it
is imperative that professionalism be a major
focus throughout the practicum. Students are
expected to be on time, follow through on tasks,
practice effective interpersonal skills, dress
appropriately, and maintain a positive attitude.
In addition to satisfactory worksite performance,
the following academic criteria must also be
fulfilled: (All reports and weekly logs submitted
by students must be typed.)
1. Attend orientation seminar at FLC;
2. Keep a written daily log of hours and
activities for each workday and submit a
weekly descriptive report of experiences on
Moodle;
3. Submit a Verification Form and Orientation
Report by the end of the first week of the
internship (form provided in this packet)
4. Submit a midterm and final evaluation from
the worksite supervisor (use form provided);

meet the criteria for the assigned credit
hours (120 hrs minimum for 4 hrs credit).
6. Submit a final report, Internship Final
Summary Paper (4 pages typed), to be
included in the portfolio binder.
PRACTICUM ACTIVITIES
Internship activities are mutually agreed upon by
the intern, advisor/college supervisor, and site
supervisor. The nature of activities and
experiences will vary depending upon the
organization. The following activities are
examples of the types of things you may wish to
pursue during the practicum:
1. Assist in the identification and diagnosis
of a program need or problem as
determined by the sponsoring
organization,
2. Fact finding as related to a program need
or problem, e.g., conducting literature
searches, writing reports, press releases,
news articles, etc.
3. Developing, coordinating, and
administering a program activity,
4. Attending professional meetings,
5. Attend staff meetings and special
functions;
6. Assisting in the preparation of special
reports, grant applications, and curricula,
7. Presenting health related information,
8. Assisting with program evaluation,
6
9. Develop educational displays and
presentations;
10. Working with the professional staff on an
interagency basis,
11. Visiting other health related agencies to
discuss networking or the types of services
they provide.
12. Develop news releases.
13. Conduct entry to mid-level work and
tasks (e.g., lab work), as directed.
14. Perform work unattended (e.g., data
mgt), as necessary.
15. Complete logs, file organization, and
journal entries, as directed and
necessary.
16. Assist Sr. professionals in execution of
upper level field and administrative

EVALUATION CRITERIA
Student Intern Role:
Completion of weekly reports, contact
hours, and agreed upon intern
activities/assignments, final portfolio binder,
presentation finals week, and self-
evaluation
Sponsoring Agency Role:
Completion of intern mid-way and final
evaluation form (form provided)
Ongoing supervision
FLC Public Health Program Role:
Evaluate weekly reports, contact hour
completion, self evaluation, and final report
portfolio
The final grade will be determined as follows:
Site Supervisor Evaluations1 = 40%
(Midterm evaluation = 20%; Final
Evaluation= 20%)
Weekly Reports = 20%
Final Report Internship Portfolio2 and
presentation at final meeting = 30%
Professionalism = 10%
1Supervisor evaluations will be determined by
multiplying 20 times the average of the total
scores for the final intern evaluation. For
example, if an intern received an average score
of 4.2 out of a possible 5.0, the score given will
be 84 for this category.
2All students are required to be in attendance at
the final internship meeting to submit portfolios
and give an oral presentation of their
experiences. Students who do not attend this
meeting automatically receive a deduction of
20% on their portfolio scores. Therefore, if a
student would normally receive a score of 93,
he/she would actually be given a grade of 73.
3Professionalism is based on timeliness of
weekly reports, mid-term evaluations, etc., as
well as the academic internship supervisor's
perception of the overall quality of the intern's
interactions with him or her. Students who are
consistently late with submitting requirements
receive a lower score.
