Region 2 Field Placements
The Region 2 Public Health Training Center Student Field Placement Program provides financial and technical support for 23 public health students completing practicum experiences in public health agencies in medically underserved areas across New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Field placements are intended to enhance a student’s professional skills and gain experience with public health professionals and agencies. Below are just a few shared experiences from past stipend recipients.
Student-Faculty Collaboration Projects
Faculty-student collaborative projects may include research projects, community interventions, or public health analysis projects identified by a governmental public health agency or other public health service entity. A student works under the close supervision of a faculty advisor, both of whom collaborate with the public health entity to address specific public health issues among a specified target population and work together to develop the methodology and plan of approach.
