Join us in April 2020 for an in-depth e-conversation with fellow UC alumni working in health care and medicine to discuss positioning yourself for long-term professional success. From finding your professional fit and navigating career change to advancing into leadership positions or shifting away from patient-centered work, this panel will offer insights and advice to help you prepare for your next career steps. While this webinar is open to all UC alumni, the content of this program is specifically designed for mid and later career professionals in the fields of health care and medicine.
