Tulane Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Organization Guide Tulane Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health Organization Guide Maternal and Child Health Related Organizations in the Greater New Orleans Region Updated 11/2017 Dear MCH Student, This practicum and volunteer resource guide, compiled by the Tulane Center of Excellence in Maternal and Child Health (CEMCH), is intended to aid you in finding an organization in the New Orleans area that matches your interests in the realm of Maternal and Child Health. Many students choose to volunteer with a local organization throughout their time here at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (TUSPHTM), finding that it gives them more insight into the kind of work they would like to do after completing their degree, gaining satisfaction in providing needed services to an organization, and receiving the benefits of connecting with the individuals whose health they hope to improve in the long run. The practicum is the internship for master’s level students of public health. It provides a real‐ world or field experience for the practice of public health skills that you’ve acquired through your academic program. You should start your practicum only after completing all of the school core courses, attending a practicum workshop, discussing your practicum idea with your advisor and getting his or her approval, and developing your practicum job responsibilities and learning objectives. The practicum should provide you with a broad range of job responsibilities, giving you opportunities to use competencies learned in the public health core courses. The accrediting body for the TUSPHTM requires this broad application in the practicum, and the GCHB practicum requirement of 300 hours ensures that you and the practicum organization develop a mutually beneficial relationship. Learning objectives require measurable verbs and philosophically are on a higher level than job responsibilities; in other words, the learning objectives define what you have learned by performing the practicum job responsibilities. It is incumbent upon both you and your advisor to make sure that you have a satisfying and worthwhile internship while providing a valuable service to the practicum organization. Please note that inclusion in this guide does not indicate an endorsement of an organization, nor does it indicate feedback (positive or otherwise) from other students regarding their experience with the organization. Your experience with an organization will be shaped by your own personal efforts, your aims in working with the organization, the learning objectives you develop, and the relationships you build. Please let us know if you have suggestions for improving this guide. We wish you well in connecting with the greater New Orleans community! Carolyn C. Johnson, PhD Shokufeh M.
