(118)Early Career Forum

The Early Career Forum is intended to provide opportunities for predoctoral students, postdoctoral trainees, and early career faculty to network with senior mentors in the field and to participate in sessions focused on career development topics.This year’s Forum will include a mentor networking event, a focus on SIGs event, and panel discussions with break out groups on several cross-cutting topics. 

The Mentor Networking session and SIGs event will take place during the first portion of the forum.  During the second portion, attendees will choose two of three career development sessions on cross-cutting topics. Each session will begin with a faculty panel discussion with subsequent small-group breakouts to allow attendees to talk further with faculty mentors about the topic area.

Breakout Session Option I: Getting Your Research Funded

    • This session will address approaches to maximize your success with funding opportunities including seed funds, pilot mechanisms, foundation grants, and NIH funding sources.

Breakout Session Option II: Planning for Your First Job

    • This session will focus on preparing you for transition to a postdoc or faculty position, and provide guidance on successfully navigating interviews and negotiations.

Breakout Session Option III: Maintaining Balance in Your Career

    • This session will attend to strategies to achieve balance in different aspects of your career, including balancing research and clinical commitments, accomplishing teaching, education, and mentorship roles, fulfilling service roles, and maintaining work-life balance.

Forum attendees are welcome to choose any two of the above breakout sessions. It is not necessary to indicate your session preferences at the time of registration.

The Early Career Forum aims to:

  • Facilitate networking to share ideas and experiences and to develop new collaborations.
  • Provide opportunities for early career members to interact with senior researchers and clinicians within the American Pain Society.
  • Enhance early career members’ professional development.
  • Promote education as an important component of pain research and treatment.
  • Encourage future generations of pain researchers and clinicians.

Participants will receive communication/a survey from APS with a request to select a list of top five mentors for the Mentor Networking session.  This information will be used to group attendees and mentors together for two 25-minute networking rounds during the Forum.  Mentors' names and areas of interest/expertise will be provided on the survey.  Participants will receive confirmation of their assigned mentor groups in March.

This session is limited to 120 participants.  Please register to attend.

This session is not being offered for CME credit.
