MPH Practicum Overview
All Master of Public Health students are required to complete a practicum project. The MPH Practicum Office manages the practicum for the five departments within the School that offer the MPH degree. If you are interested in applying to the Master of Public Health program, you must contact the department you are interested in within the School of Public Health and Community Medicine.
The School of Public Health and Community Medicine offers several areas of study within its MPH Program. The Epidemiology Department offers programs in Epidemiology, Global Health, Maternal & Child Health, Nutritional Sciences and Public Health Genetics.
Within the Department of Global Health there are currently three options for obtaining a Global Health MPH: The general track through the Department of Global Health, the Global Health track in the Department of Epidemiology, and the Peace Corps Masters International.
The Department of Health Services offers specialized study in maternal and child health, health policy analysis and process, social and behavioral sciences, and health care and population health research, (the latter track serves mostly experienced clinicians entering the program) and the Extended Degree Program.. The MPH in Health Services also offers formal concurrent degree programs in conjunction with other University of Washington schools. MPH/MPA, MPH/MSW, MPH/MD, MPH/JD, and MPH/MSD concurrent degree programs are available.
Additional MPH programs are available through: Biostatistics, Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, and the Occupational Medicine Residency program. The overall responsibility for ensuring that students have met the requirements for completion of the practicum lies with the Department/program.
