Project

This course is a capstone course that provides students with the opportunity to apply the knowledge and skills gained throughout the Mini Master of Public Health program to a real-world public health issue. Students will design, implement, and evaluate a public health project, focusing on areas such as disease prevention, health promotion, health policy, or community health initiatives. The course emphasizes the development of practical, evidence-based solutions to public health challenges, with an emphasis on research, data analysis, and collaboration with community stakeholders.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Applying Public Health Knowledge to Real-World Problems: Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate and apply the public health knowledge and skills learned throughout the program to identify and address a specific public health issue or challenge.
• Designing and Implementing a Public Health Project: Learn how to develop a comprehensive public health project, including defining objectives, designing research or intervention strategies, and creating a timeline and budget for implementation.
• Conducting Data Collection and Analysis: Gain proficiency in using appropriate research methods to collect and analyze public health data, ensuring that the project is grounded in evidence-based practices and aligns with public health goals.
• Evaluating Project Outcomes and Communicating Findings: Develop skills in evaluating the effectiveness of the public health project, assessing its impact on the target population, and effectively communicating findings through reports, presentations, or policy briefs.

These outcomes aim to prepare students for leadership roles in public health by equipping them with the practical experience needed to develop and execute public health initiatives. The course serves as a bridge between academic learning and real-world application, preparing students for careers in public health practice, research, or policy development.
