2025 Annual MPH Practicum Symposium

The MPH Practicum Symposium is an essential part of the MPH candidate experience as it enables our students to take what they’ve learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world of public health. This year, 26 DGH MPH students showcased their innovative, community-driven projects at the 27th Annual MPH Practicum Symposium. Working with various local and global organizations, our students helped address some of the most pressing public health challenges of our time, and made lasting connections with public health agencies across the globe.
