Crafting & Sharing Your Origin Story
Often we are asked "what got you into this specialty" or "what drew you to medicine." While we clearly know the answer, we can sometimes fumble a bit to provide a clear and succinct answer. As your career progresses it will become even more crucial when responding to potential funders, collaborators, and employers. This interactive workshop will equip all participants with the tools needed to craft a clear origin story, steps to practice and polish that story for different settings, and the chance to learn from peers on similar journeys.
