Host an MPH fieldwork student

Host a Student for an Applied Practice Experience – PennMedicine Master of Public Health

We’re always seeking new opportunities for our students through Applied Practice Experiences (APEs). This is a great way for both students and host sites to benefit from real-world public health work. Many of you have already hosted students, but we’d love to expand these partnerships further.

Note, what was once called “MPH Fieldwork” is now the MPH Applied Practice Experience. This change aligns with our accrediting body, the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). It’s the same mutually beneficial partnership with community partners, just with a fresh name.

If your organization is interested in hosting a student, please fill out the MPH Host Site Application. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Nekia Rosado directly at nekia.rosado@pennmedicine.upenn.edu.
