DOM Research Career Development Workshop: Finding Mentors

This workshop is part of a program to support the research career development of faculty, particularly early-career faculty, in the University of Arizona Department of Medicine.

Our September session, presented by Franz Rischard, DO, was focused on how to leverage existing resources to jump start a clinical research career.

Next in our series, we will address the topic of how to identify research mentor(s).
