Week 2 Discussion

Collaboration Café

 Foundational Concepts, Models, and Frameworks for Practice

Practicum Planning Checkpoint - included in the Collaboration Café assignment:

As you consider possible practice opportunities for your population health practicum, remember the wide array of contexts within which population health may be a focus. While the traditional public health system may first come to mind, population health efforts are also taking place in clinical healthcare delivery settings, from in-patient acute care to out-patient clinics, long-term care, and community health centers, among many others. As you ponder the options, consider the following:

Have you submitted your practicum application? If not, what is your target date for submission of the practicum application?

Where will you pursue practicum placement, and what attracts you to that particular agency, organization, or practice setting?

Describe the population health focus within the selected practice setting.

How will the foundational concepts and frameworks for population health practice apply in this setting? Include at least one specific example in your posting.
