Overview
Whether you’re starting a new job, postdoc, or rotation, there are 4 things to do to assess and position yourself to succeed. Skillful students and postdocs recognize how important it is to assess their environment, strategically find allies, uncover hidden expectations and align their efforts to thrive. In this highly interactive session, we’ll use real-life examples and reflection to explore best practices to evaluate your situation, understand your team dynamics, and formulate a winning strategy that positions you to achieve your goals at UCSF and beyond.
