Practicum

The MPH@GW applied practice experience empowers you to address real-life public health challenges, taking what you learn in the classroom and applying it to problems in your community or around the world. You can choose to complete your applied practice experience at a local, national or international organization and tailor your practicum project to your area of interest.

We partner with more than 700 practice sites and affiliated preceptors, and you’re encouraged to be highly proactive and creative as you research where you would like to complete your practicum. If you would like to learn about how GW can support you in identifying a site and preceptor to fulfill your practicum requirement, please reach out to your Student Success Advisor.
