How do you choose a research area and establish independence? What types of mentors will you need? Should you write a career development grant? In this year’s career panel discussion, SMDM senior and mid-career experts will share their insights and experiences on beginning an academic career. Introductions from panelists will be followed by a question and answer session with the audience. The viewpoint of clinician and non-clinician academics will be represented. This career panel will be most interesting to junior scientists and faculty as well as those who mentor junior scientists/faculty.
