Join us for a webinar designed to highlight how internships can bridge the gap between academic training and impactful industry roles. Hear from three professionals who successfully transitioned from graduate school into careers across biotech, digital health, and data-driven healthcare innovation. Speakers will briefly outline their internship experiences, describe how those opportunities shaped their career direction, and share insights into navigating the transition from student to full-time team member. Each of the three 15-minute segments will spotlight a distinct internship-to-career trajectory, followed by open discussion where attendees can engage with the panelists and ask questions about securing and thriving in internship roles that align with long-term career goals.
