Practicum Spotlight Week.
SPH Practicum Spotlight Week is designed to help new students learn about the Practicum experience from students who have completed their practicum and from some of our most celebrated practicum preceptors! These panels allow students to hear about different certificate-based practicum, as well as those focused on Policy & Advocacy, Community-Based Work, and practicum in industry, and more! The Career & Practicum Office hopes that, by learning from their peers, new students will better understand the Practicum process and be inspired to begin thinking about what their Practicum might look like.
