UO Health Practice Project 2

This course enables students to consolidate their undergraduate study and advance their learning into professional practice through the development of a public/community health project. The course is designed to challenge and extend the student's critical thinking and project management skills by scoping, planning and evaluating a health project that is responding to an authentic community need. Students will develop an independent public/community health project based on an identified health need within a community. Students will work through the development process, but will not implement the project. The course focuses on the implementation, evaluation and closing stages of the project, including: evidence-based design based on critical review of secondary data, project management skills, ethics and cultural safety.
