Looking Forward: Resident, Fellow, and Preceptor Luncheon and Professional Development Session
Session Chair(s)

This is a special session for Residents, Fellows, and their preceptors, and will be held in a private room during the luncheon. No fee is required.
The decision to puruse a Pharmaceutical Industry Medical Information Fellowship or Residency requires commitment and deidication. It is believed that the sacrifices one will make to complete such a program will be outweighed by the benefits gained. Spending 1-2 years in a training program such as these should cement the choice of career path, and make access to those career choices much easier. But is that what really happens? In this session we will hear from former Fellows and Residents share what they expereinced as they made critical decisions about their post-training careers. Some of their stories may sound similar to your 5-year plan; others may surprise you. Each will provide an opportunity for reflection and dicussion.
Preceptors are encouraged to participate in the discussion and to take information back to continue the discussion with their trainees.
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:- Describe one potential career path that they had not previously considered
- Identify one industry colleague to connect with to explore a career option discussed during this session
- Apply the information that is most relevant to their particular situations
