A group of 66 undergraduate students who are participating in summer programs in the health sciences at UB came to the Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) to learn all about careers in clinical and translational research from experts already working in the field.
The annual Graduate and Professional Careers Forum, held in June, is sponsored by the Collaborative Learning and Integrated Mentoring in the Biosciences (CLIMB) program.
Students from the following programs attended:
CLIMB UP (CLIMB Undergraduate Program, ASPET-SURF, CLIMB PRO, iSEED)
CSTEP (Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program)
LSAMP (SUNY Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation)
The goal of the event, which has been held at the CTRC every year since 2012, is to introduce students to the PhD and MD/PhD programs in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. For the last three years the event has featured a poster section by all of the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) core groups.
Students enjoyed lunch and a tour of CTRC facilities led by Research Facilities Manager Terry-Ann Smith, MS, in addition to a full slate of presentations:
