Professional Development Seminar: Early and Mid-Career Components

The ASN thanks the Women In Nephrology (WIN) for its assistance with this program.

This seminar welcomes both men and women participants. The course will have two parallel components. One section of the program will be targeted towards the career development of early career nephrologists and PhD scientists with interest in nephrology who would like to develop strategies to better manage their professional lives. The second component is targeted to mid-career nephrologists or scientists considering administrative roles. This component will emphasize clinical, educational, and research program building, as well as financial management and interpersonal skills.

In addition, there will be sessions that may be of interest to both early and mid-career nephrologists and/or scientists. These sessions will address the role of nephrologists and/or scientists beyond academia, covering topics such as "career change", "positions in industry", "evaluating a private practice" and "starting your own company". Individuals who are pursuing clinical or non-academic careers in nephrology will find in these sessions strategies that will be helpful for their career advancement.

Objectives:

  1. To provide insights into characteristics of a successful career in the context of the current academic and workforce needs in Nephrology.

  2. To highlight qualities necessary to develop these career characteristics.

  3. To identify potential barriers to accomplishing career goals and to understand and develop strategies for overcoming these barriers.
