On Tuesday, the SURF students chatted with Dr. Robert Helsley who studies obesity, cardiovascular and liver diseases. As an undergraduate, Dr. Helsley was also a SURF fellow! You can read more about Dr. Helsley here.
On Wednesday, the SURES students participated in a near peer mentor match up-each mentee chatted with a potential mentor for 5 minutes. We will find out who we matched with next week.
On Thursday, we had a career exploration session starting with a panel discussion with PhD and MD/PhD students. They told us about all the ins and outs involved in going to graduate and medical school. We were then joined by Dr. Brad Newsome, a UK alum who now works as a Health Scientist Administrator at Fogarty International Center at NIH-https://www.fic.nih.gov/
Our final speaker was Dr. Tithi Basu Malik, Assistant Director for Graduate/Professional Students & Postdoctoral Career Support (Stuckert Career Center) who gave us tips on how to use Linked In to develop our network and learn more about potential careers.
