Applied Learning Experience
The Applied Learning Experience is designed to help students apply, while working in a public health-related setting, the knowledge and skills developed during the theoretical aspects of MPH Program. It is recognized that the competencies needed in the professional work place will be similar but often somewhat different from those used in a classroom situation. Relationships may also be different. Therefore the transition from classroom to the work setting requires careful preparation.
These guidelines will assist students in making informed choices regarding the selection of the Applied Learning Experience placement site where he/she can sharpen competencies learned, benefit from new experiences and grow professionally. These guidelines will also help to coordinate the efforts of Applied Learning Experience Faculty Advisor and Agency Site Supervisor. The appendices document contains all Applied Learning Experience forms to be completed by the student, Applied Learning Experience Faculty Advisory and Agency Site Supervisor. Please contact Dr. Lynn Carson (lcarson@wcupa.edu) for more information about the Applied Learning Experience.
