Grant: Dr. James Rossiter MPH Practicum Awards Program

The MPH program at the University of Guelph adequately prepares graduates for employment in the public health sector. The program was created using the Core Competencies for Public Health and the Guidelines for MPH Programs in Canada to ensure that the program contributes to a reliable supply of highly qualified professionals able to respond to current and emerging public health issues across Canada. The practicum experience is an invaluable component of the MPH program that provides students with the opportunity to have a meaningful public health experience prior to graduation. The ability to support MPH students in their practicum endeavors is an excellent opportunity to recognize student accomplishments and reinforce their commitment to the health of our communities and building public health system capacity.
