New Programming in HBHE

The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) recently recognized HBHE for our newly developed e-portfolio program (MPortfolio, here at UM) that is a key component of our new Capstone Course.

Both MPort and the Capstone Course provide a venue for students to integrate all aspects of their HBHE education including: coursework, internships,work experience and more. Students learn to frame these experiences within the context of their development of core HBHE public health competencies:

• Determinants of health
• Theory in health behavior
• Research and evaluation methodology
• Ethical principles in public health
• Intervention planning, implementation and evaluation
• Working with diversity
• Managing programs
• Global health
• Community-based participatory research
  

Then, they are taught to translate this into the professional skills of networking, job interviewing, negotiating, creating a digital professional portfolio and more.
