Conference Opportunities!


We are pleased to announce our 4th Annual Career Planning Workshop for Physician Scientists at the University of Chicago on September 26, 2009. These are quite exciting times for physician-scientists in the field of Internal Medicine and sub-specialties. As you are well aware, trainees graduating from your program are looking for opportunities to further their clinical and research expertise, in order to prepare themselves for successful careers as physician-scientists. We will be hosting a free workshop on the University of Chicago Campus on Saturday, September 26, 2009, to provide information and advice regarding career pathways open to graduates of MSTPs. A number of our physician-scientist faculty will be presenting and will be available to offer one-on-one counseling to any attendee. We feel this workshop will be an excellent opportunity for your trainees to learn more about post-graduate training options and hope you will share the attached information with your students.
