特点
通过提供公共卫生硕士学位课程，临床医生可以获得所需的人口健康知识和技能，从而增强其服务质量和公共卫生影响力。
There is a very important interface between public health and primary care clinical practice1,2. It has been established that the health of a population is directly related to the availability of primary care services3. Delivery of primary care services is an important determinant of health and is therefore a global public health priority. Family physicians and other primary care clinicians are at the frontline of public health in terms of identifying emerging public health problems, promoting healthy lifestyles, screening appropriate patients for disease, advocating for patients and discharging public health initiatives to their patients4. These individual-level services skillfully provided by primary care clinicians can be improved and enhanced by equipping those same clinicians with the population-level knowledge and skills offered by an MPH degree program5.

Practica
The Required Medical Education Practicum in Family Medicine (CHL5620Y) provides an opportunity for learners to apply and reflect on the theory and knowledge gained in coursework by engaging in new academic projects in their professional settings.
Learners are required to spend a minimum of 320 hours involved in an appropriate practicum to earn the 1.0 FCE credit. Students must also identify and meet regularly with a practicum field supervisor and all practicum projects require the approval of the Program Director.
Because the practicum involves the hands-on application of knowledge obtained via coursework, the practicum activities must be new endeavors that are related to either an area of academic core competency or one of the Faculty of Medicine’s faculty promotion planks to which the learner has been exposed during previous or concurrent MPH coursework. See references below for specific examples.
Throughout the practicum it is essential for learners to reflect on and record their experiences and to engage in regular discussions with their practicum field supervisor about their practicum progress. The practicum evaluation is based on the student’s record of experiences; a 2-3 page scholarly, analytical and reflective report based on the overall experience; and ideally a presentation to their classmates.
It is important that you remember to enroll in CHL5620Y on ROSI. Though the practicum is listed as a “continuous” course, we recommend that you aim to have the practicum completed and work submitted to the Program Director within 12 months of starting the practicum. The CHL5620Y Practicum is graded CR/NCR.
Electives
Students are encouraged to take elective courses that will enhance their learning experience and/or provide focused study on a particular topic. Please check the DLSPH timetable for a list of courses available each academic year. Below is a list of potential electives.
