Description: In this practicum, students work as a team to design humanities-based solutions or create resources for a local organization related to health. Under the guidance of the faculty instructor, students will co-create a research plan, including a timeline, benchmark goals, a possible budget, and the division of tasks. Students will also complete common readings and visit the partner institution and relevant local sites as a group to gain insights into the broader context of the topic they will be researching. A mentor or team from the partner site will meet with the class periodically throughout the semester to answer questions, provide feedback, and connect students with relevant resources. By the end of the semester, the team will complete a project or resource for the organization and present their work to a relevant audience. Partners and projects vary by semester. This course counts towards the elective requirements of the MDHM minor. Recommended Prerequisite(s): Two additional Humanities courses OR two additional MDHM elective courses. Repeatable for Credit.
