Designed to mirror a real-world work environment, the course emphasizes professional skill development through teamwork and practical application. Students will collaborate to analyze an existing public health program or organization and produce tailored deliverables for a real public health client. Class sessions function like a workplace, with students expected to be active and responsible team members. Dedicated team meeting time simulates workplace practices such as agenda setting, meeting facilitation, workflow management, peer evaluation, and oral presentations. Individual skills will also be strengthened through teaching cases and assignments. This interactive, student- centered approach prioritizes both professional growth and hands-on experience to prepare students for real-world public health careers.
