Innovative Approaches to Student Training and Education
This session highlights five innovative student training and education programs in the U.S. today. In order to prepare students to become public health practitioners, it is important to move the education and training out of the classroom. During these presentations, participants will learn how to plan a health and human rights series on campus, rekindle a student organization, build partnerships with community groups, personalize health and wellness courses, and use reflection to promote deep learning.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) will be able to: 1. Identify the steps involved in planning a health and human rights series on campus.; 2. Discuss strategies to assist student organizations in self-goverance.; 3. Articulate two implications for MPH-level competencies that relate to public health practitioner/researcher-community and intra-community relations.; 4. Discuss how personalizing an introductory health and wellness course motivates learners.; and 5. Define the goals and benefits of relection in graduate-level public health education courses.
