Pathobiology 2027

A successful career in research requires intentional preparation on the part of trainees, persistence, patience, and ongoing development of skills in early and mid-career, and continued improvement as a senior investigator. This session will discuss best practices for achieving preparation for a successful career in research, including utilization of the individual development plan (IDP), mentors and mentoring committees, advisors and advisory committees, and how continued use of these tools and practices can benefit as one navigates through various career stages. This session will benefit trainees and early career investigators, as well as more senior investigators, and will be equally useful and informative to mentees and mentors.
