Portfolio Building Articles for MPH Students

1 article to help with your MPH practicum

A practicum generates reports, analyses, communication materials, and plans that can anchor a professional portfolio — if you curate and present them well. These articles cover selecting permitted work products, organizing evidence around competencies, and building a portfolio that stands out to public health employers. The strongest portfolios start during the practicum, not after it: save final versions of each deliverable as you finish it, note which competency it demonstrates, and ask your site early which materials you may share outside the organization. A few well-chosen pieces with a short explanation of your role, the audience, and the result usually say more to a hiring manager than a large folder of drafts.
