Applies principles of environmental health to a real-world problem impacting a community in our own backyard. Investigates the driving forces that underlie these complex environmental health issues. Explores strategies for assessment and intervention. Integrates the lived experiences of community members and students wherever possible. Incorporates group work, so students are expected to coordinate schedules with each other and the community-based organization. Students practice skills in project management and data analysis—enacting theoretical principles of environmental health learned in previous classes—while working in a group setting. The combination of these practical skills and theoretical foundations are fundamental in today’s professional practice.
