APST 235 is a residency/field placement for health development administration students. The course is designed as a practical educational and training experience that will assist students to synthesize the contents of courses in the first year of the University Certificate in Health Development Administration program.
The course is designed to help students apply their theoretical knowledge to a practical application in the field. The course provides students with an exposure to a typical future work environment and helps students to identify their career goals--both academically and professionally.
Students will work with an agency or organization and complete the project that is a community-based survey, needs assessment, and program evaluation. Students taking this course are expected to work independently with minimum supervision.
To receive credit for APST 235, you must successfully complete weekly reports and a major project report with a formal performance evaluation from the student's preceptor.
Course materials will be mailed to students.
