Tips for identifying potential sites:

Potential Site Settings:

  • Governmental agencies
  • Non-governmental agencies
  • Non-profit agencies
  • Industrial organizations
  • For-profit settings
  • Appropriate university-affiliated practice-based settings; university-affiliated settings must be primarily focused on community engagement, typically with external partners. University health promotion or wellness centers may also be appropriate sites.

For example:

Minnesota Prepared Internships. Paid internships that may be used for Applied Practice are available through the Minnesota Prepared Internship Program. See website or email Project Coordinator Kinsey Mannebach (manne127@umn.edu) for more details.

Career Resources

During the Applied Practice experience, students are encouraged to work professionally and follow work ethics best practices. Therefore, the SPH Career & Professional Development Center has created a number of tools and resources for students, necessary to successfully manage their career from the beginning until they become an established public health professional.
