MPH Practicum Symposium 2022

The annual MPH Practicum Symposium brings together students, faculty, practice partners, alumni, donors, policymakers, and more to celebrate students’ practice work, faculty mentorship, and community partnership.

Over the last year, MPH students have worked alongside public health practitioners to address some of the most pressing public health challenges of our time, including the COVID-19 pandemic. They've also applied their skills to improving access to health care for people experiencing homelessness, researching water and hygiene innovations to prevent disease in Ghana, and much more.

Over 70 of these graduate students showcased their practicum learning experiences. Most students presented in-person during the symposium held April 20 in the UW HUB Ballroom.
