Design Your Life for Prehealth Students!<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=66219>
Wed. 4/18 • 26-142 • 3:00-4:15 PM
Careers are ill-defined, "wicked" problems. Navigating health careers, such as a career as a Physician, can be even more challenging. Learn how proven design thinking mindsets can help you design and build your career in medicine in the face of all the unknowns. Whether you are in the beginning stages of exploring a career in medicine or matriculating to medical school in the fall, this workshop will give you the opportunity to practice and take home valuable tools that will help you develop future plans and strategies.
*Registration required<https://candidate.gradleaders.com/MITGECD/Candidates/Login.aspx?pid=3624&workshopID=66219>. Space is limited to 20 attendees. Snacks will be provided. Please contact Tianna<mailto:transom at mit.edu> with dietary restrictions.
