Description:
This symposium has two components: a poster session and a fishbowl conversation panel, which offer the prospects an opportunity to highlight their credentials and learn from various stakeholders, respectively, while forming valuable connections. In the first part of the symposium, the poster session will provide an opportunity for the prospects to highlight their research and education credentials to the conference participants. In the second part of the symposium, the fishbowl conversation panel will be attended by faculty of all ranks, department heads, and federal program managers, who offered their advice and experience to the prospects on the application process, interview pitch and expectations, and transition.
