Physiology Career Options and Opportunities: Series of Career Talks!

4 Feb 2021

This Spring, the Department of Physiology is hosting a number of alumni and friends of the BSc Physiology degree programme.

For this series of career talks, speakers will bring us on a journey along their career paths following their primary degrees and discuss training opportunities and new exciting roles following graduation. We will learn of the challenges and rewards of diversifying in new roles and entering new fields of study and research. Graduates will outline how they transitioned into new fields and roles within the clinical setting, pursued additional study, embraced international roles in North America and Europe, along with changing roles during a global pandemic!

We will welcome a broad range of speakers (15+ speakers) during the series with combined experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, healthcare, medical devices sector, medical sales, academia and medicine.
