Practicums Are Here, Now What: A Thriver’s Guide

By the end of your practicum, you'll land in one of three boxes — and you don't get to pick which one.. or do you?  In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, host Gordon Thane draws on his own journey to show why the students who thrive aren't the ones who wait for direction. From an unpaid MPH practicum placement to now being on the advisory board of that same organization member; he explores: how to tailor your practicum experience to the next job opportunity you’d like to pursue, and why the learning contract you signed may be out of date by the time you start day one, and how to build three references who'd hire you again tomorrow. Host & Producer◼️Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Production Notes◼️ Music from Johnny Harris x Tom Fox: The Music RoomLeave Us Some FeedbackIf you enjoy our podcasts, be sure to subscribe and leave us a rating on Apple Podcast or Spotify, and spread the word to your friends to help us get discovered by more people.
