TRIUMPH Curriculum
Students in the Training in Urban Medicine and Public Health (TRIUMPH) program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health will spend 20 weeks of their third year and most of their fourth year in Milwaukee.
Students will learn and work in a variety of sites, including Aurora Health Care Metro Region hospitals and clinics, community health centers, public health agencies and community organizations. They will explore the rich history and diversity of Milwaukee's neighborhoods and learn to engage with communities to promote health.
Early in the 15-month experience, UW School of Medicine and Public Health students will identify a specific urban health population and issue that captivates their interest. Students will work under the guidance of faculty mentors and community health leaders to conduct a community or public health, quality improvement or research project.
Students will learn about community health assessment, project design, evaluation and how to join and contribute to a community health team. They will present their final projects before graduation.
