Field training
Public health practice: six months of compulsory field training, including practical hours.
Public health happens in the community
Field training is at the heart of the Health Inspector course. Six months of field training is compulsory, including practical hours.
The college has tie-ups and signed MoUs with Primary Health Centres, Urban Health Centres, the corporation and many hospitals, so that students gain on-site technical knowledge. Proper training is given to students before every site visit and posting, and after the course students have a good chance of being placed with the same institutions.
Students of the first batch credit the extensive field visits for their placement as Health Inspector in Dharmapuri corporation.
