The U. S. Army Public Health Center (APHC) mission is to enhance Army readiness by identifying and assessing current and emerging health threats, developing and communicating public health solutions, and assuring the quality and effectiveness of the Army's Public Health Enterprise. APHC’s vision is to be a world-class provider of public health services across the Army and DOD. Within the APHC Health Promotion and Wellness Directorate, the Public Health Assessment Division advocates, builds capacity, and provides comprehensive program evaluation services to inform evidence-driven decision making within the Army Public Health System. The Public Health Assessment Division is comprised of a multidisciplinary team of scientists, advanced public health practitioners, and program evaluators.
As a participant, you will collaborate with project team members and external partners of the APHC to collect data and to apply study findings and recommendations to improve the initiative and determine short, intermediate and long-term initiative effectiveness to support the mission of APHC. Under the guidance of a mentor, you will gain experience in developing and executing program monitoring and evaluation activities that would include:
Refining evaluation and monitoring questions to be answered
Developing data collection tools
Collecting, analyzing and reporting qualitative and/or quantitative data
Communicating findings.
As APHC prepares you for the labor force, you have access to knowledge and hand-on experience to intersections between the local and enterprise public health infrastructure within the military, opportunities to apply and develop skills learned in the classroom within an applied setting (e.g., program evaluation, statistics, program planning), and experience in translating scientific findings to inspire action. Furthermore, you will be amongst the few to have an opportunity to observe one or more Staff Assistance Visits at installations around the country, on-site/field data collection, briefings to senior Army public health leaders, and development and application of metrics in a public health strategic initiative.
