Chapter 08: Issues in Graduate Education: Attracting and Retaining Women in the Graduate School; The Future of Biomedical Education
Files
Description
In this segment, Dr. Stancel first observes that women had difficulty finding mentors in the early years of the GSBS (and recounts how the newly-created UT Medical School wanted to compete for the best students with more established schools and so actively recruited women and tailored courses to what were perceived to be women’s learning/working style). He explains discussing why the GSBS must have “a much deeper conversation with itself” about preparing students for careers outside of academia and how to foster innovation and creativity. At the end of this segment he mentions various books dealing with innovation and medical education.
