What are the requirements of the MHS essay?
An essential part of the practicum is the production of an acceptable MHS essay that provides meaningful contribution to knowledge of health of underserved populations. The paper is not a thesis in that it need not contain original research findings for review by an academic committee. Rather, the objective of the paper is to provide tangible evidence of expertise on a specified applied topic of international health relevance. Each program in the department has its own unique requirements. The essay is read and approved by two readers knowledgeable on the subject matter, usually your academic advisor and one other reader, possibly the internship mentor.
