The Global Health Practice concentration has an International Applied Practice Experience (I-APE) component. The I-APE serves as a structured educational experience provides students with an opportunity to practice their competencies gained through their studies at COPH. The International Applied Practice Experience takes place in an agency, institution, or community in a developing country, and under the supervision of the Preceptor and the guidance of the student’s Faculty Mentor. All students in this concentration complete an International Applied Practice Experience (I-APE) in a developing country or Tribal Nation. Students have obtained placement in communities located in Australia, Belize, Peru, Ecuador, Kenya, Panama, Japan and Uganda. The types of community work depend on student’s professional interests. International students in this concentration can complete the I-APE in the US.
