Welcome to the SPHHS Practicum Management System

To help facilitate the practicum experience, SPHHS has created the SPHHS Practicum Management System to provide you with one location for:

• Policies and requirements
• Required forms
• Program-specific materials
• Listing of practicum opportunities
• Tools and resources

Attendance at a Practicum Training session is required prior to starting your practicum experience. Please note that there are only two training sessions scheduled per semester (1 in the summer). If these times conflict with one of your other classes, please make advance arrangements with your professor for any assignments related to the missed class.
