Abstract:
|
This session will have speakers from industry, government and academia. Within this session several speakers will present a brief background of their career track after receiving an advanced degree in biostatistics. Each speaker will illustrate and present observations related to choosing and developing within their chosen career field. In particular, the speakers will highlight typical daily tasks and activities, primary roles and responsibilities, opportunities for research and professional development. Each speaker will also illustrate expected and unexpected characteristics and benefits related to their career choice. Furthermore, suggestions related to career development for students (or professionals in other fields) to prepare for employment opportunities and to grow professionally will be discussed.
