Introduction

Many of the items requested in the application to the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PM&DC) for registering the Master of Public Health Program (MPH Program), University of Louisville (UofL), are not directly applicable to a standalone program in public health. Our MPH Program is population-based and does not include direct clinical- or patient-oriented experiences.

In order to be as responsive as possible, the information provided by UofL includes restatements of requests that are clinical in nature. The restatements are intended to be responsive to the requests from a public health population perspective. Restatements include reference to this Introduction for clarity.

7.(1) See section 7.(3), below.

7.(2) The program utilizes a Blackboard organization dedicated solely to the practicum. Students and faculty mentors communicate regularly through the site as requirements are submitted. Additionally, faculty communicate with students (in person or via email) regularly to discuss practicum progress.

[7.(3)] Practicum requirements are evaluated based on the standards outlined in Exhibit 7.3aAppendix SPHIS 2. Additionally, the practicum site is asked to complete an electronic evaluation of the student. Appendix SPHIS 3See Exhibit 7.3b.

Additionally, during the student’s final semester of coursework PHPH-697 Integrated Learning and Experience in Public Health is required. The course is designed to integrate knowledge acquired in coursework and other learning experiences and to apply this knowledge to situations with various aspects of professional public health practice. Students develop and analyze public health cases as well as complete a comprehensive exam. The multiple choice exam assesses a student’s grasp of core public health concepts prior to graduation. Students are required to obtain a minimum score of 80% to pass the exam.

[7.(4)] Students are asked to complete an electronic course evaluation at the conclusion of the semester. See Appendix SPHIS 4See Exhibit 7.4a.

Students are also asked to complete an electronic practicum experience survey. See Appendix SPHIS 5Exhibit 7.4b.

Graduating students are encouraged to complete the MPH graduation survey. See Appendix SPHIS 6Exhibit 7.4c.

Appendix SPHIS 2

Practicum Requirements

Preparation Requirements

The following items are required prior to start of formal practicum field.

01: Practice site and site mentor information (due by September 1). The student, working with the faculty mentor, MPH program personnel, and site personnel, is responsible for identification of the practice site.

02: Practice site affiliation agreement (due by September 1). This term refers to one of two documents: a legal agreement with an entity outside the University or a memo of understanding with an entity within the University. If the site identified by the student is not already in a site affiliation agreement with the School of Public Health and Information Sciences, the Dean’s Office is responsible for negotiating and executing an agreement with the site.

03: Student practicum agreement (legal document; due by September 1). The student completes and signs an agreement in which the student agrees to the terms and condition of the affiliation agreement with the site. Information for the student to complete and submit this agreement is in the assignment in the student’s Blackboard group and in the Practicum Experience Manual.

The student’s practice site may require additional agreements or documents signed or acknowledged by the student as conditions of participating in the activities of the site. These site requirements are not within the jurisdiction of the University; the Dean’s Office is available to discuss specific site requirements with students but is not available to provide legal advice.

Student Evaluation

The components of student evaluation are:

04: Practicum concept document (5% of final grade; due by September 1). A document describing the proposed primary activities for the practicum.

Following submission, the practicum concept document is reviewed, approved, and scored by the faculty mentor to ensure the student’s practicum is conceived as onsite field experience at and for a public health-related site.

The following rubric is used to determine the score for this component:

Grading

The final grade for the practicum is not determined until the full six credit-hours of the practicum have been completed. Students are usually expected to take the practicum as one credit-hour in the summer term, two in the fall semester, and three in the spring semester prior to graduation; or as two three credit-hour in each of the fall and spring semesters prior to graduation. A grade of “X” is assigned for a practicum course completed without achieving a total of 6 credit-hours. After completion of the required six credit-hours, the letter grade earned is assigned to each practicum course.

The components of student evaluation are weighted as follows:

01: Practice site and site mentor information --02: Practice site affiliation agreement --03: Student practicum agreement --04: Practicum concept document 5%05: Practice site profile 5%06: Learning agreement 20%07: Practicum presentation 25%08: Practicum poster 15%09: Practicum report 25%
