Assessment Task: Practice Reflection
Background
To complete the unit, a brief practice reflection task must be completed. Students will reflect upon PUBH630 content in terms of: (a) how it relates to and extends their existing knowledge and skills; and
(b) how they believe it will inform their future practice and support them in meeting relevant competency standards.
Purpose: Analyse how the knowledge gained in this unit will influence future public health practice
Instructions
Your practice reflection is an opportunity to reflect on PUBH630 as a whole, and consider how it relates to practice. "Relates to practice" should be thought of in two parts: (1) relates to your past practice and existing knowledge/skills [marking criterion 1]; and (2) relates to your future career and practice, and the public health competency standards that underpin that [marking criterion 2].
For the purposes of this unit, you should consider the Foundation Competencies for Master of Public Health Graduates in Australia, with a focus on the Health Protection, and Health Promotion areas of practice (units of competency 5-9).
