Lunchtime Career Options and Preparations Seminar with Erin Lake
Join Erin Lake (’01) for both a broad and detailed overview of the array of career opportunities made accessible by a degree in biostatistics, CBQG, or health data science, as well as comparisons between these sectors. (For instance, in pharma, where in the development process of an investigational new drug might be roles for each of these degrees? How about in the academia, or nonprofit settings?) Depending on student attendance and interests, we may discuss tips around establishing ‘presence’ for starting a career in our field, interview preparation, and the elements of strong cover letters and CVs/resumes.
