Members-in-Training career forum: Career pathways

Free webinar: June 8 | 11 - 12:30pm ET
Audience: Researchers and clinicians at all career stages, with a special focus on Members-in-training.

Scientists and clinicians are under pressure to obtain grant support, conduct research, run a lab, maintain a clinical practice, and teach trainees. This workload is further compounded by individual life stressors. Concern about these competing pressures has resulted in a heightened awareness regarding burnout. This webinar convenes a panel of researchers and clinicians at various career stages to share their perspectives on developing your career to avoid burnout and the importance of work-life balance. Speakers will discuss major hurdles they have overcome and lessons-learned, and will share helpful resources.

This workshop will help attendees identify career challenges and skills to navigate a healthy work-life balance.

Attendees of this webinar will learn to:

Identify career opportunities and challenges and focus on developing strategies to create a healthy work-life balance.
Identify their transferable knowledge and skills as eye care professionals in both the clinic and in research.
Understand the problems they might face when moving across the different career options, and how to best address these issues.

This webinar is hosted by the ARVO Members-in-Training Committee. A Certificate of attendance will be available to attendees upon request.
