Professional Development Series Requirements

The professional development series is designed to aid in your career preparation journey by allowing time for you to improve components of your professional life. Workshops will focus on the skills and materials you need to start your search, thrive in your role, and strengthen your network. Led by topic experts, these workshops are interactive and informative for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students of all class years. The workshop topics are designed to build off one another, so it is recommended that you attend as many as possible to receive the full benefit of the series.

Because the selected professional development topics provide important preparation for the depth experience, it is required that all first year MPH students attend at least 4 of the 12 offered workshops before beginning on-site at their placement. Attendance at a minimum of 4 workshops is required before a learning agreement is approved, which allows accrual of depth experience hours.
