UO Health Practice Project 1

Course aim

This two-part capstone 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.

Course content

Part one of the two-part capstone course integrates key skills and consolidates knowledge gained from the degree. Students will develop an independent public/community health project plan, based on an identified health need within a community. Students will work through the development process, but will not implement the project. This first part of the capstone course focuses on the initiation and planning stages of the project, including: evidence-based design based on critical review of secondary data, project management skills, ethics and cultural safety.
