Gaining and improving on soft skills (e.g., communication, adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving) is one of the most important elements for success during one’s early career (EC). Such attributes are highly sought after by employers and makes one more competitive in the job market and in their career growth. Everyone can benefit from colleague-to-colleague learning opportunities, regardless of career or training level. This session will provide a structured opportunity for attendees to learn from accomplished professionals with established careers in the field (herein referred to as “mentors”) to learn about critical soft skills gained during their own journeys.

The 2024 Annual Meeting theme, New Horizons for Global Outreach, is about the generation, dissemination, communication, and implementation of clinical therapeutics across the globe. The theme is very broad to give session submitters adequate flexibility to apply the theme to various topics. However, the ASCPT Scientific Program Committee (SPC) anticipates receiving proposal submissions of a more strategic nature, which will require the SPC to integrate focused science to achieve a balanced program. Learn more and ask your questions live so you can develop a strong proposal!
