Preparing for Biomedical Graduate School

Harvard University: “Biological and Biomedical Sciences Graduate School Preparation and Career Options Advising Session” 

WHEN: Monday, 2 October 2017
WHERE:  Boger Hall, Rm 112
TIME: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

PRESENTED BY: David Van Vactor, PhD, Professor of Cell Biology, Harvard Medical School, Director, Curriculum Fellows Program;  Jason Heustis, PhD, Lecturer, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, Graduate Curriculum, Professional Development and Evaluation Specialist

Members of the Harvard Medical School community will be visiting to connect with students interested in discussing graduate school applications, graduate training and professional development, and the expanding range of career options for PhDs.

For decades, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education has followed very traditional models of training and career preparation.  These models are now undergoing change to better prepare graduates for a rapidly evolving career landscape.

Drs. Van Vactor and Heustis will open a dialogue with the audience to explore how students can effectively navigate portfolio development, graduate school applications and training. Please come and join the conversation!
