NIH BEST: Exposure to Multiple Career Pathways by Biomedical Doctoral Students
July 20, 2018
A study published in PLOS One discusses the outcomes of an NIH Broadening Experiences in Scientific Training (BEST) program at Wayne State University:
The program devised a three-phrase program that “ranged from providing students with a broad introduction to multiple career opportunities to immersive experiential learning in a specific career sector.” It provided data on two notable outcomes:
- “Doctoral students participate equally in BEST activities regardless of gender, race, and citizenship status."
- "Student participation in BEST activities did not correlate with lower GRE ratings, lower GPA, or increased time-to-degree.”
