Applied Practical Experience in Public Health. Bring on one or more students from The University of North Dakota in the Public Health to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available for a minimum of 135 hours of placement from May 2021 to August 2021, and can be extended per agreement with student and UND. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.

The practicum is conducted in partnership with an agency or organization that provides a public health service, in the broad sense of public health. The organization may be a public health department, another government agency, such as the Indian Health Service, or a non-governmental organization, such as a hospital, other health care provider, or a community organization.

Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project, yet we require students to complete 2 distinct deliverables. The student should complete a minimum of 135 hours with your organization by August 2021.
