Your Practicum and Your Beliefs

Think about your current level of public health knowledge and the work you have been doing in your practicum. Consider the knowledge or beliefs you had about the field of public health, public health concerns, your practicum site, and the population served as you began your practicum experience.

• How have your beliefs or knowledge been challenged through this practicum?
• What is one preconception you had about working in the population you are studying or serving in your practicum experience that has changed?
• How do we challenge preconceptions or reconsider knowledge about public health and the populations we serve? Provide and cite evidence to show that your suggested approach could be impactful.
• What potential problems do you see with your suggested approach?
