In addition to the development and enhancement of research skills, the faculty are concerned and invested in the professional career development of their younger colleagues and trainees. The Section encourages the development and enhancement of skills needed for pursuing a successful career as an academician, researcher, and/or clinician-researcher. In support of this goal, we encourage fellows and their mentors to include career development as part of their individually tailored training program. The career development component should include assistance in clarifying training and career goals, identifying strategies and opportunities for launching a career, assistance in developing the skills and strategies needed for a successful job search (e.g., identifying and searching web and non-web based listing sources, practicing job-talks, etc.), and attending more formalized training (seminars, workshops) on building a career as a researcher academic.
