生物医学科学博士在学术界内外从事广泛的职业。然而，很少有数据表明博士生的职业兴趣与博士后培训的决定或最终的职业结果有什么关系。在这里，我们提出了1452个生物医学科学博士谁从范德比尔特大学1997年和2021年之间毕业的职业目标和职业成果。我们使用扩展的三层分类法对职业进行分类，并使用标记来描述关键的职业里程碑。我们还分析了入学和博士答辩之间的职业目标变化，以及学生对研究密集型教师职业或多或少感兴趣的原因。我们将学生在博士答辩时的职业目标与他们是否做了博士后，博士答辩和第一个非培训职位之间的持续时间，第一个非培训职位的职业领域以及毕业后10年工作的职业领域联系起来。最后，我们跟踪了毕业后10年的个人职业生涯，以描述随着时间的推移在不同职业领域之间的流动。我们发现，大多数学生在研究生院期间改变了他们的职业目标，追求博士后培训的校友人数下降，许多校友进入了与他们在博士答辩时的目标不同的职业领域的第一个非培训职位，第一个非培训职位的职业领域是校友毕业后10年的工作的一个很好的指标。我们的研究结果强调，学生在研究生院期间需要广泛的职业发展机会和职业指导，为他们在研究和研究相关专业的未来做好准备。使用一个分类法，描绘关键的里程碑，这项研究分析了生物医学博士生的职业目标和成果。我们将国防职业目标与博士学位后的第一个职位，第一个非培训职位以及毕业后几个时间点的工作联系起来。学生通常在培训期间改变职业目标，并在不同的职业领域进入第一个非培训职位，而不是他们在国防方面的目标。毕业生的第一个非培训职位的职业领域是他们毕业后10年工作的一个很好的指标。图片来源：BioRender.com。
Biomedical sciences PhDs pursue a wide range of careers inside and outside academia. However, there is little data regarding how career interests of PhD students relate to the decision to pursue postdoctoral training or to their eventual career outcomes. Here, we present the career goals and career outcomes of 1452 biomedical sciences PhDs who graduated from Vanderbilt University between 1997 and 2021. We categorized careers using an expanded three‐tiered taxonomy and flags that delineate key career milestones. We also analyzed career goal changes between matriculation and doctoral defense, and the reasons why students became more‐ or less‐interested in research‐intensive faculty careers. We linked students' career goal at doctoral defense to whether they did a postdoc, the duration of time between doctoral defense and the first non‐training position, the career area of the first non‐training position, and the career area of the job at 10 years after graduation. Finally, we followed individual careers for 10 years after graduation to characterize movement between different career areas over time. We found that most students changed their career goal during graduate school, declining numbers of alumni pursued postdoctoral training, many alumni entered first non‐training positions in a different career area than their goal at doctoral defense, and the career area of the first non‐training position was a good indicator of the job that alumni held 10 years after graduation. Our findings emphasize that students need a wide range of career development opportunities and career mentoring during graduate school to prepare them for futures in research and research‐related professions. Using a taxonomy that delineates key milestones, this study analyzed biomedical PhD student career goals and outcomes. We related career goal at defense with first position after PhD, first non‐training position, and job at several timepoints after graduation. Students commonly changed career goals during training and entered first non‐training positions in different career areas than their goal at defense. The career area of graduates' first non‐training position was a good indicator of their job 10 years after graduation. Credit: BioRender.com.
