Careers in Industry Program at ENDO 09

Sponsored by the Corporate Liaison Board (CLB), the “Careers in Industry” program will take place at ENDO 09 on Wednesday, June 10^th at 12pm-1:15pm during the Trainee Exchange in the Washington Convention Center.  Please encourage all trainees you know to attend this exciting program.

The “Careers in Industry” program is part of the Fellows Track at ENDO and will provide resources and information for fellows, post-docs, students, trainees, etc., on careers in industry. The interactive panel discussion will focus on how to succeed in industry, what skills are needed for a career in industry, examples of career opportunities, and basic “how-to’s” for getting started. The panel includes the following representatives:

• Michael Berelowitz, MB, ChB
  Pfizer, Inc.
  
• Barry Komm, PhD
  Wyeth Research
  
• Nerissa Kreher, MD
  Genzyme Corporation
  
• Michael McClung, MD
  Oregon Osteoporosis Center

In response to the feedback from the 2008 “Careers in Industry” program, the CLB added two new types of speakers this year: a basic researcher from a company and a physician who works with industry, but does not work directly for industry.  The CLB felt that these two changes would enhance the program for attendees.

All In-Training ENDO Registrants are invited to attend the “Careers in Industry” program and members of industry are invited to observe. Visit the ENDO 09 Web site for more information or contact Nancy Chill at nchill@endo-society.org or 301-941-0203.
