Career Planning
The Fellowship Training Program provides several forums for trainees to consider their careers beyond the completion of the fellowship. Once yearly meetings with the Program Director, Dr. Michael Rein, and the Division Chief, Dr. William Petri, allow for open discussion regarding career goals and plans for achieving them. Furthermore, there is an annual “Research Planning for Fellows” meeting led by Dr. Christopher Parsons where issues related to rational planning of experiments, grant-writing, manuscript publication, and expectations of progress within the fellowship are discussed to facilitate successful completion of these tasks as a bridge to procurement of independent funding and research resources.
