Planning Your Academic Career

So then, why academic career development?

Whether you are a medical or graduate student just starting advanced study in your chosen field; or a postdoctoral fellow, resident or clinical fellow—highly skilled, but embarking on even more specialized training; or a junior level faculty member joining the community of scholars as a teacher, researcher and/or clinician—we want to help you achieve your professional potential.

To become devoted to a calling, to have a sense of responsibility and to have hopes or aspirations are all part of being human.
—Jonas Salk

Our goal is to help you successfully navigate the major stepping stones along the course of your academic career. We will help guide you on your journey toward a professional life spent creating, disseminating, and applying new knowledge in the health sciences.
