This capstone topic provides students with an opportunity to apply their learning in an authentic professional context, developing a small-scale project with a partner public health organization. It develops skills in project development, evaluation, and management, and allows integration and application of theoretical perspectives and knowledge from previous topics within the Bachelor of Public Health. The topic is the first phase of the project, and will be actioned in the PHCA3516 Public Health Project Development B (Capstone) topic.
This topic aims to provide students with an opportunity to consolidate and apply their learning into professional practice in a workplace setting. It is designed to challenge and grow the student’s higher-level communication, dissemination and critical thinking through the development and implementation of a small-scale project in a public health organization. This topic is the first of two related topics in which the student develops a project proposal and plan relevant and appropriate to their public health partner organisation. It includes a simulated interprofessional learning workshop to develop communication and team-based problem-solving skills.
