HEED-227 Cross-Cultural Community Health Service And Learning Practicum

The community service and learning practicum provides the opportunity for students to serve in a community health agency. Through community health education these agencies address important and current cross-cultural and/or international health issues, such as AIDS outreach, disease prevention, and wellness education. The goal of the practicum is to develop practical and professional skills in the creation, implementation and evaluation of programs designed to enhance the health of the population. Each student is assigned to a community health agency for eight hours weekly. A two-hour on-campus seminar is scheduled every other week. (9 hours lab weekly)
