Workshop Overview
To Participate via phone dial: 866-217-1898 Conference Code # 4249467
Career opportunities in epidemiology have never been
more varied. At the same time, the economic downturn
has cast a pall over what was a booming job market.
This may predispose soon-to-be-graduates or early career
epidemiologists to consider a wider range of career paths than
they would have otherwise. This workshop will offer a unique
opportunity to hear from leading epidemiologists (mentors)
in the government, industry, academic, and consulting sectors
as well as from early career epidemiologists (mentees) who
have chosen those sectors. You will also hear from recruiters to
gain their perspectives on what employers are looking for as
well as how to present yourself well when seeking a job.
The workshop will be fast-moving with no long-winded
speeches and lots of time for Q&As (both during and after
the workshop). Further, the participating mentors, mentees,
and recruiters were chosen based on their high likelihood
of being brutally frank about the pros and cons of their
employment sector. This workshop represents an evolution of
previous workshops that were offered at various epidemiology
society meetings to include the perspectives of mentees and
recruiters. We hope you will join us for this unique workshop.
