Research, Publications and Presentations

The OCPD staff and collaborators have presented nationally at scientific meetings, conferences and universities, and also published on a wide range of career and professional development issues facing graduate and postgraduate (biomedical) trainees. Topics are related to developing career awareness and professional skills in students and postdocs, best practices in building career development services at universities, designing career/professional development curricula, and training for career professionals. Below are a list of examples of publications and presentations within the scope of work at the OCPD.
