A man in a white lab coat, possibly a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), instructs two women at a classroom desk while other students work in the background. The desks have supplies, drinks, and paperwork on them.
An older woman, likely a Nurse Practitioner, stands beside a younger woman seated at a table, both looking at papers. The older woman points to something on the paper amid medical supplies, suggesting an NPGC clinical setting.
