Careers in Science and Medicine

Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Office of Academic Affairs will host a series of free weekly one-hour long webinars aimed at educating the community about careers in science and healthcare.  Each week two specialists from across the Center will share their stories and answer questions about their training and career path. Careers in health care, science, business development, community engagement, fundraising, marketing and much, much more will be covered.  If you’ve ever wondered about the professionals who make up the Fox Chase team, what motivates them, and how to break into a particular career, you are urged to check out this seminar series! 

There will be opportunities to submit your questions prior to the webinars and to participate in a live Q&A.

Topic: Road to the PhD: A pictorial presentation of my path past, present, and future
"Yon pwason ki mouri nan dlo se pa nwaye l nwaye; A fish that dies in water did not drown". This Haitian proverb symbolizes my spirited pursuit to heal as a global health researcher at the intersection of science, health, and policy, engineering systems to promote wellness for all. My Haitian heritage and global perspective allow me to serve diverse, low-resourced populations through shared cultural understanding. Given increasing globalization and connectivity, I am invested in cultivating health systems with equity as the foundation.
