25 Aug 2025

Description

Send us a textWhat do emerging professionals in health communication wish they'd learned in school? In a long, revealing conversation, we dive into candid interviews with three recent interns who came to us from diverse educational backgrounds.Our discussion centers on a critical reality: students pursuing careers in public health communication receive minimal hands-on experience during their formal education. While they may learn theoretical frameworks and analyze existing campaigns, it’s challenging to replicate the work environment in an academic setting, so skills like accessibility and translating data for different audiences are often new concepts to the students who pass through our program. This episode, the first in a three-part series, offers valuable insights for educators, health communication professionals, and students alike about bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world practice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This podcast is a project of the Center for Injury Research Translation and Communication (CIRTC).
