The APS Mentoring Forum will feature a new topic every other month. A member of the Women in Physiology Committee or invited guest will write about a general issue involving mentoring. That issue will then be the focus of the Mentoring Forum for 2 months. Mentees will be able to anonymously ask topic-specific questions of Committee members and other mentors and of other mentees. A potential list of topics include:

Finding a mentor
What is a career like in

Industry
Research institutions
Clinical research
Undergraduate teaching institutions

Career training
Differences in mentor expectations for a graduate student vs. postdoc
Finding teaching experiences during a postdoc
Preparing a job talk
Getting a job in the same town as a spouse / significant other
Sharing childcare in a marriage with two professionals
Starting a laboratory

buying equipment
establishing techniques in the laboratory

Teaching that first course
Career transitions

If there are specific topics you’d like to see addressed sooner than later or topics that are not on this list, please contact us with your suggestions.
