Learning Outcomes
- Understand the important role networking plays in advancing your career in clinical and translational research.
- Learn effective and practical networking strategies for clinical and translational researchers.
Networking enables researchers to connect with colleagues, share their research, explore and acquire funding, and navigate professional advancement. However, there are few opportunities that allow you to learn about and practice strategies to network effectively. This one-hour webinar will demystify networking for clinical and translational researchers, offering best practices for preparing for, engaging in, and following up on networking opportunities, especially for those who shy away from this practice. Participants will leave this interactive session equipped with concrete, practical strategies and tools for growing their networks.
