On May 3rd, the DGIM Faculty and Staff Career and Professional Development Office sponsored a Coffee and Conversation gathering with the PhDs from DGIM. This was the first meeting of the PhD group, and discussions were lively. Topics included: career pathways, teaching, mentorship, promotions, leadership opportunities, and resources for PhDs.

The DGIM PhD scientists are an impressive group, working on a wide range of research projects in Clinical Epidemiology, Health Services Research, and Policy Research. Our DGIM PhD scientists are unique, as they are not doing Bench or Lab Science like many other PhD researchers at MGH.

The DGIM PhD group will meet again this Fall to continue discussions aimed at improving career satisfaction and promoting the advancement of this accomplished group of scientists.

DGIM Writer in Residence, Dr. Suzanne Koven, joined the event and will be conducting a Narrative Session with the DGIM PhDs in the coming year. She will also begin to work with our PhD grant writers to bring her expertise in storytelling to their skillful grant writing.

Please see Suzanne’s interview with Dr. Eric Campbell to learn more about our DGIM PhD scientists.
