This course serves as one of two culminating courses for the Bachelor of Public Health (BPH) degree and brings together two key applications of public health knowledge: Practicing public health in organizational settings and communicating as a public health professional. In this course, students complete an experiential learning activity in order to gain a practical understanding of public health organizations, broadly defined. Students will use what they observe during the experience, as well as what they have learned throughout the BPH program, to advocate for public health through media and policy advocacy. In this context, students will develop the skills to create public health communication using theory and evidence-based approaches.
