HPE 400 Master’s Practicum in HPE

This course is a recurring seminar (offered each quarter). In this course, learners will participate in a variety of practical experiences in health professions education (HPE) within military and, in some instances, civilian organizations in the local geographic area. Learners will enhance their didactic learning experience by practical application, and they will acquire a broad HPE perspective that will inform them about HPE roles, responsibilities, and challenges. MHPE learners will receive 10 credits upon completion of (a) 70 hours of documented and approved practicum experience and (b) completion of a final report and requisite evaluation forms. The practicum experience may be spread over more than one quarter.
