Tulane PRC Health Promotion Practicum Program
Fall 2016/Spring 2017
The Tulane Prevention Research Center is offering SIX competitive practicum internships that provide students with real-life experience in the field of health promotion working with selected partners of the Tulane PRC. The practicum program is limited to Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine students. Preference is given to graduate-level students who have not yet completed a practicum, but practica have been awarded to exceptional undergraduate students in the past.
The practicum hosts are 504HealthNet, Backyard Gardeners Network, The Cookbook Project, Friends of Lafitte Greenway, Sankofa Community Development Corporation, and Ochsner Health System Community Outreach Program.
See the attached PDFs for brief descriptions of the internships and the application for all practica. All documents are also available at the Tulane PRC website under Career Opportunities.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 14, 2016 for emailed or faxed applications. All mailed applications must be post-marked by Thursday, Nov. 10, 2016. The internship position may begin during the fall semester with the bulk of work performed during the spring semester. Exact start and end dates depend on student availability, program timing, and the organization’s specific needs (see descriptions for details).
The interns will be required to work a total of 300 hours for the designated organizations. For students in the Global Community Health and Behavioral Sciences Department, this program will fulfill your practicum and project requirements, upon approval of your faculty advisor. The interns will also be required to fulfill all reporting requirements mandated by the school’s practicum manual.
