MPH program is the practicum, a structured and supervised professional experience with an approved agency for which students receive academic credit. As a working partnership between students and public health agencies, the practicum offers students hands-on experience in an area of public health, including county, state, federal or community-based agencies. The goal of the practicum is to further students\u2019 practical experience while enhancing the work of public health. Through the practicum, students have the opportunity to demonstrate an integration of coursework into a real-world setting, preparing them for a professional career in public health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n    \n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--full-width-cta light-gray\"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n

student in the Biostatistics and Epidemiology concentration, I am completing my practicum with the Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program (MTQIP) at Michigan Medicine. I work with an amazing team of medical professionals and analysts to collect Patient Reported Outcomes Measures and understand trends in recovery following trauma surgery. I love having the opportunity to design outreach materials and learn from patients across the state about the impact of medical care on physical, mental, and financial well-being. Thanks to USC&#8217;s Data Analysis courses, I was readily able to conduct statistical analyses with SPSS, SAS, and STATA for the success of this project. I&#8217;m excited to see how I will develop my research skills over the course of this experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n            \n                          <div class=\"attribution-container image\">\n\n                                  <span class=\"attribution-title\">Iman Mekled<\/span>\n                \n                                  <span class=\"attribution-additional-info\">Concentration: Biostatistics and Epidemiology<\/span>\n                \n                                      \n<div class=\"f--field f--image\">\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n              \n      <img\n                            data-src=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/pphs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2024\/02\/Iman-Mekled-320x320.jpeg\"\n          data-srcset=\"https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/pphs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2024\/02\/Iman-Mekled-768x768.jpeg 768w,https:\/\/keck.usc.edu\/pphs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2024\/02\/Iman-Mekled-320x320.jpeg 320w\"          data-sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 50vw, (min-width:768px) 100vw, 100vw\"          class=\"lazyload\"\n        \n        alt=\"student smiling at a practicum assignment\"\n        \n                                      \/>\n\n    \n    \n  \n  \n\n<\/div>\n                              <\/div>\n            \n          <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n            <h3 class=\"pane-title visually-hidden\">Tulsi Modi<\/h3>\n\n                              \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>My practicum opportunity with\u00a0Planetary Health Alliance\u00a0(PHA) introduced me to the power of networking.
