Session Description: This is the first session in a webinar series aiming to describe careers for MD/PhD or PhD-trained pathology scientists that fall outside the traditional professorship track. PhD scientists working in various fields and settings will share insights and give advice to trainees looking to explore alternative paths. With health scientists employed in various commercial settings from biotech companies to industrial operations and law and editorial services, a foundation in research can lead to unexpected and attractive career options. This session will be of interest to undergraduates, graduate/medical students, or post-doctoral fellows.
