All degree-seeking students in the Milken Institute School of Public Health (GWSPH) are required to complete eight (8) hours of Professional Enhancement (PE) prior to graduation. 

Professional Enhancement activities are designed to complement one's academic curriculum by helping them deepen their understanding of public health issues and prepare to actively engage in the professional community. These activities typically include public health-related lectures, workshops, webinars, seminars, and symposia, either in person or virtually.
 
Events must enhance one’s practical knowledge or professional awareness in public health, either broadly or within their specific field of study/interest. If you're unsure whether a non-GWSPH event qualifies, email your advisor a link to the event details prior to the event and we'll let you know! Please allow 2-3 business days for review.

To receive credit for your Professional Enhancement hours, please follow the steps below:

  • Track Your Activities: Log each PE event using the Professional Enhancement Form, available on Blackboard under the Forms & Form Submission tab.
  • Obtain Approval for Non-Pre-Approved Events: For events that are not pre-approved (e.g., not listed on the GWSPH Event Calendar), you must obtain prior approval from your advisor. If approval is granted via email, save that correspondence as part of your documentation.
  • Document Attendance: Acceptable forms of documentation include photos from in-person events, screenshots from virtual webinars, advisor approval letters, registration confirmations, conference badges, program schedules, event tickets, etc. We strongly recommend keeping a dedicated folder (either on your computer or via GoogleDrive) of all PE-related materials as you complete them.
