- Community Health Coach Practicum

Catalog description

During the practicum, students, under the supervision of Registered Nurses (RN), will assist patients in making lasting lifestyle changes for enhanced wellbeing. Students will meet weekly with their assigned community patient at their residence as well as meet weekly with peers and Licking Memorial Health (LMH) representatives to report on the progress of their patient. As a student health coach in the practicum course, students will assist their assigned at-risk patient with setting and meeting wellness goals, identifying and overcoming obstacles for these goals, and will serve as a support system for this process.
