Doctoral students are required to demonstrate DrPH-competency attainment through an activity called the Applied Practice Experience (APE), while enrolled in the DrPH degree program. The Applied Practice Experience is designed to ensure that students have advanced-level practical experience outside of an academic setting.
Students work with their faculty mentor, and a practice-based mentor on a research project they have chosen. The APE product will be an extension outside of the student’s existing functions at their place of employment and will meet the needs of the organization selected.
