Student Practicum Placement Program

MANTRA is fostering the next generation of healthcare leaders in Manitoba.

Our practicum gives students hands-on experience, connecting classroom learning with real-world public health challenges. From tackling nicotine addiction to understanding the impact of tobacco products on Manitobans, students leave with valuable insights that go beyond textbooks.

From Theory to Practice

During their time with MANTRA, students gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of nicotine addiction and how it affects communities. They dive into topics like tobacco control, prevention, and cessation, learning about everything from the history of Big Tobacco to today’s vaping trends. This experience prepares them to apply these insights in their future healthcare careers.

Fresh Perspectives, Big Contributions

Our students bring fresh energy, ideas, and creativity to our team. Over the years, they’ve made real contributions to our work, from co-hosting panel discussions, to writing blogs, and creating educational resources. Whether they’re helping with Facebook Lives, crafting infographics, or distributing surveys, our students have a direct hand in shaping our efforts to reach the community.
