The Biomedical Careers Initiative (BCI) was featured in a recent edition of Nature! The article highlights some ways in which BCI helps PhD students explore non-academic career paths, which includes stipend-paid internships and mentoring opportunities.
Under the direction of Peter Espenshade, PhD, the BCI provides information and facilitates training and networking for the broad range of careers available to PhD students upon graduation. Funded by the PhD Innovation Initiative from the Provost of Johns Hopkins University, as well as charitable gifts, BCI is administered by the Center for Innovation in Graduate Biomedical Education at the School of Medicine.
