Mentoring to Diversify the Biomedical Workforce
Join the social campaign and share your experience with your mentorship. Simply use the #MyBUILDMentor to any social platform and share experiences, a photo, video, any advice or tips, and questions you may want to ask within the mentoring community.
You’re invited to join NRMN and the NIH Division of Loan Repayment for a twitter chat about the NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs). You’ll learn about the 5 Extramural LRPs, eligibility and requirements, and more. The NIH Loan Repayment Programs are a set of programs established by Congress and designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The escalating costs of advanced education and training in medicine and clinical specialties are forcing some scientists to abandon their research careers for higher-paying private industry or private practice careers. For more information about the LRPs visit: www.lrp.nih.gov
NRMN Master Facilitators will be hosting a mentee workshop, Mentoring 360: Developing full circles of mentoring relationships through all stages of your career, at ASCB conference.
Location: American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) Summer Meeting, Seattle, WA
This workshop is designed to help research mentors maximize the effectiveness of their mentoring relationships.
During this 1-hour training, you will experience the process-based approach to mentor training based on the Entering Mentoring curriculum. Topics may include:

Drs. Audra Van Wart and Dave Wessinger discuss the possibilities within the biomedical community.
This webinar will describe the education and training of biomedical science PhDs and MD-PhDs, which leads to exciting and rewarding careers. PhD programs in the biomedical sciences prepare students to become experts in a particular field of science and to pursue careers in many different areas. Students who pursue graduate degrees in the biomedical sciences often have undergraduate degrees in biophysics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science and quantitative fields of the biological sciences.
Participants will discover the wide variety of careers open to graduates of PhD programs. Many PhD’s go on to become research faculty at medical schools and universities. Others pursue careers pathways within research institutes or the pharmaceutical industry, as well as opportunities in science education at any level, science communication in all media, science administration and public policy, consulting, and intellectual property law.
The PhD Outreach Committee of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) organized this workshop, which explains the careers of PhDs Scientists and how students can prepare for and train for these careers. Presenters do not discuss individual graduate programs, but discuss common features of these programs. The webinar will include time for Q&A.
Upon completion, students will have an understanding of the educational pathways leading to the PhD, as well as knowledge of the broad range of careers possible for biomedical PhD Scientists.
