Approved Fieldwork Sites

The OEL Database contains a list of organizations approved by OEL to serve as fieldwork sites for SPH students. Many of the sites listed also include the name of the contact person and their contact information.

You will need your SPH Domain Account (sph\) credentials to log into SharePoint and access some of the fieldwork materials. Your credentials are the first letter of your first name + last name + last two digits of your EMPL ID (ex. TJohn12). This is the same account used for WiFi, logging into lab computers, and remote access to Library resources. Use this link to reset your password. Please email the HelpDesk at helpdesk@sph.cuny.edu for additional support.

Use the Approved Sites Database to:

• Identify a fieldwork site of interest
• Learn more about the organization by visiting the website
• Reach out to the organization’s contact person and arrange a meeting to explore a possible fieldwork project with the site
• Confirm if a fieldwork site that you’ve found is already approved by OEL

Once you’ve identified a preceptor and agreed on a fieldwork project, prepare your Learning Agreement. The Learning Agreement must be signed by you, your preceptor, and your SPH faculty advisor before submission to OEL@sph.cuny.edu. 

Please contact OEL if you have difficulty finding a site that is compatible with your interests.
