All
students complete the equivalent of three months (approximately 420
hours) of full time field work. The MPH program has affiliations with
more than 50 health agencies in the metropolitan region and with several
agencies in other countries. Some field placements are available on
evenings and weekends.
Within
a week of field placement commencement, each student must submit to
the coordinator a listing of what skills the student hopes to attain
from the placement and also a list of contributions the student intends
to make to the sponsoring agency. This contract should be negotiated
by the student and supervisor and signed by both of you. The
student should send the completed agreement to the UPH fieldwork coordinator.
ALL
FIELDWORK IS IN A VOLUNTEER CAPACITY WHICH MEANS STUDENTS ARE NOT
NECESSARILY PAID FOR THEIR SERVICES AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THEIR
OWN TRANSPORTATION. Infrequently, students receive stipends.
All
questions regarding field placements should be referred to Professor
Barbara Berney, Graduate Fieldwork coordinator, Hunter College, 425
East 25th Street, New York, NY 10010, Room 1022W or she can be reached
by phoning 212-481-5110 or fax 212-481-5165 or email at: bberney@hunter.cuny.edu
