Credit: 4 hours.

The Public Health Clinical Applications rotation was developed in 2006 for veterinary students. However, this rotation is applicable for medical students with an interest in public health that want to expand on concepts of study design, surveillance, sampling, sample handling, field epidemiology and biostatistics. The rotation will integrate medical and veterinary medical students around epidemiology to understand components affecting health from food safety and production to obesity to water systems at the interface of human, animal and ecosystem health. Additionally, students will work in close contact with local and state health departments, gain an understanding of the scope of activities in which local and state health departments are involved, study major and current health threats to humans, animals and the ecosystem and consider policy initiatives to address those threats. Day long field trips and one overnight trip within the state are possible.

No graduate credit. 4 professional hours. Approved for S/U grading only. May be repeated in separate semesters to a maximum of 8 hours. Prerequisite: Students must be professional student in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine.
