MPH Community Action
Together, we are better.
Touro California's Public Health Program’s Community Action for Health Concentration understands this. That is why we train students to collaborate with communities and populations with limited access to resources through education, service, and research.
Our Community Action Track
In the Public Health Program's Community Action Concentration you will learn how to:
- Apply locally evidence-based practices, policies, and programs grounded in national, state, and regional public health priorities
- Improve the health of local residents while jointly acting on systems change with community partners
- Build an understanding of public health challenges and opportunities by working directly with community leaders and members
- Participate in community collaborative research projects
Field Study Sites
Your culminating experience includes 200-400 hours of field study, where you put into practice what you are learning. Our students have completed their field study at many different places, including:
- Solano County Health & Human Services
- Napa Children’s Health Initiative
- Contra Costa Public Health AIDS Program
- Planned Parenthood
- Kaiser Permanente
- La Clinica de La Raza
