Clinical practice is among the most crucial components of a College of Public Health education. These placements are designed to be practical experiences that provide students with an opportunity to apply the concepts, techniques and theories learned in the classroom to real-life experiences working in the field, in service of the public's health and the needs of local communities. Through their in-classroom coursework, students are well-prepared to excel in their practicum placements.
