About

Our signature The Whole Scientist™ Regional Short Course program co-hosted by the Morehouse School of Medicine consists of a series of seminars and workshops led by invited experts to guide trainees in developing the skills needed to advance to the next stage of their careers.

Late-stage PhD students and postdoctoral associates seeking careers as researchers – in academia, industry, biotech, or government – in addition to those with scientific ambitions away from the bench will gain valuable training in areas such as leadership, management, communication, and mentoring. There will be sessions which can be applied to RCR training obligations. Participants also benefit from the development of supportive and collegial peer relationships that extend well beyond the duration of the course.

This program is supported through NIH grant R25GM113979.

If you do not live in the Atlanta area and you are interested in attending the long form version of the Whole Scientist course that will be held September 24-27, 2024 in Farmington, CT, please sign up here to be notified when applications are open. We anticipate that applications will open June 3, 2024.
