Example in Practice

A student starts by saying they are interested in healthcare careers. In the first call, they set a goal to learn more about nursing and public health jobs. Later, during the check-in, they share that they shadowed a professional and learned about the certifications needed. In the final wrap-up, they think about how their communication skills fit with public health and decide to look into graduate programs as their next step.
