The Pacific Southwest PTTC is seeking instructors to pilot test the latest Curriculum Infusion Package! The primary goal of this Curriculum Infusion Package is to teach the next generation of health professionals the power of prevention science in promoting public health. Each module can be used as a series or as a stand-alone lesson.
The Pacific Southwest PTTC formed an Academic Advisory Work Group comprised of faculty and highly experienced prevention professionals from the Pacific Southwest region including Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada. This group met to develop prevention science curriculum that could be flexibly infused into an existing curriculum or course.
We would like to thank the members of the Pacific Southwest PTTC’s Academic Advisory Work Group who collaborated with our team and provided feedback on the development of these materials.
This Curriculum Infusion Package was designed using the flipped classroom model. Each module will contain a recorded presentation and learning activities. Students should watch the recorded presentation and complete an individual activity before class. Students will engage in further learning activities and discussions about what they have learned during class.
