FIELD EXPERIENCE REPORT: FORT RILEY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH

Abstract

This field experience report is submitted in partial completion of the degree of Master of Public Health at the Kansas State University. The following report presents my public health field experience report. A separate document will report my Thesis research. The work conducted is, to the best of my knowledge, original except where references are provided. This field report covers my public health field experience at the Fort Riley Department of Public Health [DPH]. The report will discuss the DPH divisions, rotations though those divisions, and DPH’s recent application to become an accredited health department through the Public Health Accreditation Board. Observations of the current state of DPH and potential future direction are discussed.
