First: Set Goals• What news do I need to hear to do my job
properly?

Think of some current awareness goals for
yourself. What are they?

Turn Each Goal into Activity
Example: • GOAL: Read everything new that comes
out about the Gardasil vaccine
• ACTIVITY: Set up an automated search or RSS feed in Pubmed for any new articles on the Gardasil/HPV vaccine
