H310 Health Field Experience

in

Public Health Students

The health field experience is designed to enable Health Promotion and Health Behavior students to gain valuable skills and experience in a variety of public health settings. Working in a voluntary capacity, you are able to select a site that provides an opportunity to gain insight and knowledge regarding your career interests and goals. Sites include state, county and local health agencies, crisis intervention centers, hospital and college health promotion settings, and other health related sites. Through H310, you provide a valuable service and benefit from the advice and guidance of professionals working in the health field.
