Practice-Based Learning at CSPH
The Colorado School of Public Health is committed to providing students with practical experience
in a variety of public health settings. There are numerous opportunities for students to be involved
in hands-on community public health work. Students are encouraged to be engaged early in the
program and to maintain and build a service-oriented focus throughout their academic career at the
school. Opportunities include volunteer, field school and skill development workshops, curriculum
infusion of community projects, independent study, MPH/DrPH practicum and capstone projects.

MPH Practicum
The MPH practicum is a core course intended to support student growth, both professionally and
personally by working on a public health problem that contributes to a community need. The
experience is intended to provide students an opportunity to:
Integrate academic course work in “real world” public health practice,
Develop professional skills by leading a project in a public health setting that contributes to
an unmet need of the host site.
Develop skills that involve problem solving, working on a team and critical thinking
necessary in today’s public health field
Prior to enrolling in the practicum experience, MPH students must meet the following requirements:
1) Successfully complete the Foundations of Public Health course or the Public Health Practice
course (CSU)
2) Successfully complete 18 credits including three core courses
3) Be in good academic standing
4) Gain approval of their concentration director
Overall, enrollment in the MPH practicum has increased every year since the inception of the school. The table below represents all Colorado School of Public Health student practicum in each academic year.
Students are required to submit a practicum proposal, including a learning plan and timeline, prior
to enrolling for the practicum course. Most students enrolling in the practicum explore many
options while developing their plan. Students are encouraged to work on a practicum learning plan
that will provide them an opportunity to work on a meaningful project that will develop their public
health skills and at the same time develop important professional contacts. Each practicum is an
individualized plan developed mainly by the student with input and guidance from the host site
preceptor and concentration director. *For a list of Summer 2012 – Fall 2012 – Spring 2013

MPH Capstone
The MPH Capstone experience includes a capstone project or research paper, class work that
builds incorporates discussion about the public health value and relevance of the project, how the
various public health disciplines contribute and view the project as well as reflection on
competencies acquired throughout the MPH program. Students develop a professional oral
presentation and poster that are presented at the Public Health Forum.
The goal of the Capstone experience for MPH students is to connect all aspects of the curriculum,
including seminars, lectures, course work, independent studies, projects and direct experiences to
establish an understanding, appreciation and working knowledge of public health practice and,
specifically, demonstrate how they have developed competencies in their concentration which will
enhance public health practice in Colorado, the nation and the world.
*For a list of Summer 2012 – Fall 2012 – Spring 2013 Capstone Experiences see Appendix II on
page 13.
DrPH Practicum
The DrPH program with concentrations in epidemiology and community and behavioral health was
launched in fall of 2011. The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH), our accrediting
agency, requires that each DrPH student be able to demonstrate the DrPH competencies through
a practicum experience in addition to course work, qualifying examinations, a written and oral
proposal of an original research protocol, a final research project and a public defense of the
research. The DrPH practicum should be discipline-specific, planned, supervised, and evaluated
public health practice experience. Students must have completed at least one year of course work
(preferably two years) prior to registering for the four-hour practicum (a minimum of 240 contact
hours). Students are encouraged to complete the leadership and management courses before
undertaking practicum.
DrPH Practicum Parameters
All DrPH degree candidates in the Colorado School of Public Health are required to complete four
credit hours (a minimum of 240 contact hours) in a practicum experience. The practicum is a field
experience that integrates the DrPH academic preparation with advanced public health practice.
Advanced knowledge and skills, based on the DrPH competencies and learned in the DrPH
courses, are applied in an agency setting under the direction and guidance of an experienced
community mentor. The practicum for DrPH students must incorporate higher-level skills (policy
development, epidemiologic analyses, etc.) compared to the MPH practicum experiences, although
the settings may be similar. These higher-level skills are expected to reinforce the competencies
attained in pursuing the DrPH degree.
5 CSPH Practice-Based Learning Summer 2012 | Fall 2012 | Spring 2013
In this academic year, four students enrolled in the DrPH practicum. The host sites for these DrPH
students are:
Mountains and Plains Education and Research Center
Student: Christina Aguilera, Community and Behavioral Health, Environmental Health Focus Preceptor: Lee Newman, Director Faculty Advisor(s): Lori Crane, PhD Project Summary: Veterinary workers have similar occupational risks as human healthcare workers. This project aims to undertake the disparity in the level of training and education as it pertains to occupational injury and illness prevention. Information gleaned from quantification of gaps and assessment of specific needs will be employed to inform development of intervention tools. These tools are intended for long term use in form of outreach and education. Chaffee County Health Department
Student: Anne Hill, Community and Behavioral Health Preceptor: Susan Ellis, Public Health Director Faculty Advisor(s): Holly Wolf, PhD Project Summary: The primary goal of this project is to understand how a rural county health department conducts the CHAPS phases I – V. In addition, the ways that a rural county health department engages community partners and responds to community input as well as recognizes community health needs and assets were also explored. This allows for the comparison of how a rural county health department conducts a community health assessment as compared to an urban county health department, both differences and similarities.
UC-Denver Medical Campus and Children’s Hospital
Student: Pauline Lucas Preceptor: Dr. Eric Simões, Professor of Pediatrics Faculty Advisor(s): Elaine Scallan, PhD Project Summary: Develop a proposal to study the herd effect of school aged immunization program in Bohol Island, Philippines. The primary objective is to determine if herd immunity is observed in the adult and elderly population and to assess the strength of that protection. Ultimately, the long-term goal of this project is to design an immunization program that will benefit the island’s population by targeting a subgroup that will provide the highest degree of protection to the rest of the community. Findings from this study will have implications for influenza immunization planning and implementation not only in the Philippines but the rest of the developing world.
Colorado Health Institute
Student: Katherine Page, Community and Behavioral Health Preceptor: Sara Schmitt, Director of Community Health Policy Faculty Advisor(s): Judy Baxter, MA Project Summary: This project focuses on two major areas, both of which are auxiliary of the DrPH leadership project. The first semester focuses on completion of the Oral Health review which will result in some key deliverables. Deliverables include a review and composite of oral health literature, documentation of lessons learned, and development of an oral health portfolio. The second semester efforts will center on a larger Health Equity “Thought leadership” piece. This will likely include key areas of public health that impact health equity, and an overview within each current status and opportunities for policy/practice.

Practicum Online Portfolio and Profiles
The practicum portfolio is a collection of materials personally developed by the student to share
their accomplishments and commitment to the field of public health gained through the practicum
experience. The purpose of the portfolio is to highlight the student’s self-reflection of the practicum
experience and to showcase to others their individual capabilities as a future health professional.
The following are excerpts from a small selection of Spring 2012 online practicum portfolio
submissions.
CBHS (CU)

“This project is the scholastic culmination of my dedication and passion for global reproductive
health issues. This experience will assist me in continuing my work as an advocate for global
health equity. I am confident that lessons learned from experiences gained during this project will
have a lasting impact on my future career.”
Christen Ricklefs http://cricklef.wix.com/practicum-portfolio
“I learned more from my practicum experience in the past 6 months than I could have ever learned
in a classroom. I am so grateful to have been able to experience a collaborative project in the
beginning stages of development. Although, my practicum wasn't perfect and was quite
challenging at times – I loved it. My practicum experience truly displayed a real life situation.”
EHOH (CU)
Andrew Castano http://andyfacs.wix.com/practicum
“Overall this has been an excellent learning opportunity. I gained insight on how research is
actually conducted, the process of funding it, how environmental samples are taken, how they are
analyzed, and how the results are interpreted.”
BIOS (CU)
Melissa Leventhal http://melissaleventha6.wix.com/practicum
“Through the practicum experience I gained innumerable skills. I can now create visualizations in R
and use finer controls to modify the graphics. The high point of my work was when I began creating
multilayer plots. The most challenging experiences I had were the times when I struggled to get my
programs to run correctly. However, the more I struggled to make something work, the more
rewarding it was when I finally succeeded!”

Jay Jackson http://jayjackson4.wix.com/jayjackson
“Overall this was a very beneficial experience. My area of greatest improvement was in learning
how to communicate complex health issues in a lay policy environment. I believe that this
knowledge will allow me to thrive in a professional environment that requires this sort of complex
institutional interaction.”
CSU
Gregory Reppas DVM, MPH
“My practicum with the USDA-APHIS-Veterinary Services was a very fulfilling professional experience. The USDA staff was very accommodating to my personal and professional needs and they provided a broad practicum experience which spanned most operational and administrational facets of the organization. I had the opportunity to spend time with the veterinary medical officers (VMOs) in the field; the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) veterinarians at several different slaughter facilities; Military Working Dogs and their handlers at Buckley Air Force Base; the TSA beagle service dogs at Denver International Airport; veterinarians at the CDC branch campus at Fort Collins; the research personnel at the National Wildlife Research Center (NWRC); the USDA state veterinarians at the Denver Area Office; as well as the epidemiologists within the Centers for Epidemiology and Animal Health. Furthermore, the USDA staff was very helpful in supporting my MPH project and ultimately providing the methodology basics for conducting preventive medicine/public health research; tools that will prove to be invaluable with my future veterinary public health career.”
UNC
Amanda Skenadore, MPH - Community Health Education I am a small town reservation girl and my passion in public health is to work with my people, the American Indian Community. My practicum was a great experience. Not only did I directly work with American Indian/Alaska Natives, I experienced working with the "urban" AI/AN community, which differs from reservation residing AI/AN's. This specific population faces numerous health disparities, such as high rates of diabetes. With this practicum I was involved in teaching nutrition and physical exercise to grade school kids. It was very rewarding working the kids. I was able to incorporate my MPH studies directly into the health education component. In addition I was able to network and meet new AI/AN health professionals which lead me to my current job at the Denver Indian Health and Family Services.
Danya Carroll – MPH Community Health Education “My practicum experience was truly an accumulation of everything that I had learned during my MPH program. I was not only able to put into practice the knowledge gained as a graduate student but I was also able to gain a deeper understanding of how to blend both practice and research. I became more aware of my strengths as a practitioner and researcher and how I could improve in these areas. More importantly my passion for improving the health and well-being of Native people, specifically American Indian communities was enhanced through my practicum experience. My practicum led to networking opportunities that resulted in a job after graduation that enables me to contribute to eliminating the prevalent health disparities that affect American Indian populations.”
