Fall 2025 MPH Applied Practice Experience

Welcome to the Fall 2025 Virtual MPH Applied Practice Experience Conference Presentation Viewing Webpage!

Master of Public Health students from the Tucson, Phoenix, and Online and Global MPH programs conduct applied practice experiences in communities around the world. The applied practice experience serves as an integral part of the MPH degree curriculum in which our students are able to utilize their academic knowledge from the classroom in real-world, practical situations among professionals in the public health workforce. These hands-on, culminating experiences benefit students and organizations alike. We are so profoundly grateful for the collaborations between our students, faculty and agency preceptors and are very proud of the contributions our MPH students have made to the field of public health. This Virtual MPH Applied Practice Experience Conference is our opportunity to showcase the breadth and depth of public health work that our MPH students have done with local, national and global communities.
