Agree! Great discussion. Thanks for including me in this!

A5 IU actually has individuals that will review your dossier in your third year and give you feedback on how you are doing and what you need to work on for promotion. #ATSchat

A5 Love this answer! #ATSchat

A5 In addition to publications, what else is critical for promotion on a research track? #ATSchat

A5 The need for great writing skills resurfaces. #ATSchat

A4 Excellent advice! The feedback you get on a 'failed' grant application only makes the next application that much better! #ATSchat

A4 If a trainee knows they want to pursue a career as a physician scientists, should they prioritize looking at fellowship programs with a T32? #ATSchat

A4 How often do you see new graduates get a start-up package for research as part of their first job?

A3 Sometimes your state physician association will have lawyers who are willing to review contracts for trainees at a significant discount. #ATSchat

A3: This is where a mentor at your home institution is worth their weight in gold. Mine helped me identify where my career goals would align best with that of a particular division and then reached out to the people he knew there on my behalf. #ATSchat

A3 How do you discover all of this when all you get is a relatively brief visit? #ATSchat

A3 The biggest struggle of the last year of training! #ATSchat

A2: I agree. This is a great way to get started - especially if you are not even sure who is working in your area of interest! This gathers them all in one place. #ATSchat

A2: This cannot be emphasized enough. It is critical from beginning to end! #ATSchat

#ATSchat Completely agree! The mentor program at ATS has been a huge help to me as an early career professional.
