2024-2025 Honors Practicum Director: Dr. Nancy Binkin
Through the BSPH Honors Practicum, these students learned to design and conduct stakeholder-driven community-based public health interventions, to analyze and synthesize qualitative and quantitative evaluation findings, and to disseminate results to a wide variety of audiences. They also gained valuable skills in group work and how to successfully apply for advanced training and jobs in medicine and public health.
Below lists the students in the 2024-2025 Honors Practicum Cohort who completed the intensive applied public health experience and showcases their final poster presentations.
