Educational Teaching Assistant Experience

Developing knowledge and skills that are essential for delivering training or educational experiences in academic or professional settings is a critical component of a doctoral education. In part, to develop these critical skills, HPM PhD students are required to serve as full-time teaching assistants (TAs) in six (6)* HPM departmental courses while enrolled in the PhD program.  Typically, this requirement is fulfilled during the first three (3) years.

The requirement is met through courses offered during the traditional academic year as approved by HPM carrying 2 or more credits. The HPM Office of Academic Affairs will track completion of the requirement through this form.  This form must be submitted to the HPM Office of Academic Affairs prior to the start of the term. 

Specific expectations of the TA's role in the course should be discussed with the course instructor and agreed upon prior to submission of this form.

* students matriculating prior to August 2024 complete four (4) courses to meet the academic TA requirement as documented in their student handbook.
