Summary
Practice-based teaching (PBT) trains public health students using real-world projects. The PBT STEPS framework guides curriculum development, enhancing student skills and agency deliverables.
Area of Science:
- Public Health Education
- Pedagogy
- Workforce Development
Background:
- Accredited schools need to equip Master of Public Health (MPH) graduates with essential practice competencies.
- A gap exists in structured frameworks for designing, implementing, and evaluating practice-based teaching (PBT) in public health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define Practice-based Teaching (PBT) for public health.
- To introduce the novel 5-step PBT STEPS framework for developing practice-based curricula.
- To guide faculty in creating effective public health education programs.
Main Methods:
- The article defines PBT and presents the PBT STEPS framework: (1) securing partnerships, (2) training and technology, (3) engagement and implementation, (4) presenting deliverables, and (5) sizing up results.
- PBT STEPS was implemented in domestic and global public health courses.
- A mixed-methods approach evaluated student and agency outcomes.
Main Results:
- Students (n=12) reported significant increases in technical and professional competencies.
- Collaborating agencies (n=3) confirmed the utility of final deliverables for agency and community benefit.
- PBT facilitated the creation of evidence-informed, feasible, and innovative solutions.
Conclusions:
- The PBT STEPS framework enables successful academic and community collaborations.
- PBT effectively trains students for the public health workforce.
- PBT yields significant benefits for collaborating agencies and served communities.

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

01:16Characteristics of Practical Op Amps
835
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...
