Send us a text

What happens when classroom theory meets real-world health communication? Our three-part series concludes with a deep dive into the perspectives of emerging professionals as they navigate the transition from academic training to practical application in health communication.

We explore how creativity, feedback, and real-world practice shape the future of health communication. From graphic design and Canva challenges to the value of iterative feedback, we hear from the next generation of public health professionals what surprised them most about the field and what it really takes to move from creating materials do getting them out into the world. 

We wrap up with big-picture takeaways about accessibility, dissemination, and why health communication can (and should) be a space for creativity and fun.
