CURRENTLY BEING EDITED, NOT FINAL
...
EDIT The DrPH program of studies is intended to be an individually designed program that makes it possible for students to develop the course of study that best fulfills their unique needs, with the advice of their Faculty Advisor and doctoral committee. We recognize that the students recruited into the program have experience in the field of public health or similar disciplines and have career directions that may vary tremendously, including policy development and services, senior leadership positions, applied research, and other foci. Students will be expected to graduate with not only excellent methodological skills, but also a wider and deeper understanding of public health and their individual area of focus.

DrPH Applied Practice Experience
EDIT Throughout your DrPH, you will rely on the advice and expertise of your advisors, mentors, and committee members.
...
EDIT Students must develop a program of study to meet the requirements of the DrPH program in the USF graduate catalog of their choice, beginning with the catalog published in the year of their admission. The plan of study should be prepared with the student’s Faculty Advisor, and completed by the end of the first year of enrollment. A copy of the completed and signed plan of study should be submitted to your advisor and the DrPH program director.

The requirements for your degree program are contained in the USF catalog for the year you start your degree. When a new catalog is released subsequently, you have the choice of following the new catalog or the one you started with. The USF Graduate School has current and archived catalogs for all USF degrees and programs, available at this link: http://www.grad.usf.edu/catalog.php. There is also a College catalog, although the USF Catalog has precedence. Current and archived College catalogs are available here: College of Public Health Catalog |

Practice-Based Dissertation
Each student must present a portfolio of documentation and evidence for any course substitutions, transfers, or waivers requested. This is the supporting evidence to the Program of Study form that the student must complete by the end of the first year. The documentation needs to make the case for achievement of DrPH competencies and course learning objectives, as appropriate to the request.

Marcia Conner: "In what is known as the 70/20/10 learning concept, 70% of learning and development takes place from real-life and on-the-job experiences, tasks, and problem solving, 20% of the time development comes from other people through informal or formal feedback, mentoring, or coaching, and10% of learning and development comes from formal training.” Our philosophy in the DrPH program is consistent with this quote. We know that you bring a myriad of knowledge, skills, and experience with you to our program. If you are fully prepared in an area, there is no need for you to take a course covering what you already know and do. However, you must establish this by providing convincing documentation substantiating your knowledge, skills, and experience. Any transfers, substitutions, or waivers must be approved by your Faculty Advisor.

You should form a dissertation committee after your second year, as you approach finishing your coursework. Your dissertation committee must have four members. Three of them must come from the College of Public Health faculty (full-time or joint appointments), and one must be an external member. Here is more information about the dissertation committee: http://www.grad.usf.edu/policies_Sect8_full.php#disscomm In the DrPH program, we require you to select someone in the field who is a mentor to you to be your external member. That person will have to go through a credentialing process by submitting their CV to the college and graduate school. That person does not have to have a doctoral degree, but must be active in the profession. DISSERTATION COMMITTEE FORM: To get your committee approved, you must submit the form located here: http://health.usf.edu/publichealth/pdf/PhD_Committee_Form_2006.doc If you change your committee after this form is submitted, you need to do that on this form: http://health.usf.edu/publichealth/pdf/PhD_Change_of_Committee_Form_2006.doc Note: Although these forms reference the PhD, they apply to the DrPH as well.
When the candidate, major professor and committee members agree that it is time to schedule the final defense of the dissertation, the candidate distributes the final dissertation draft at least 4 weeks before the final defense date. This time period allows the committee to thoroughly review the document and the student to make changes before the final defense. The final defense date must be at least one week prior to the final submission deadline to the Office of Graduate Studies. |
