DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The global economic climate has reshaped the job markets for which we are preparing biomedical doctoral students. At the same time, most research programs have traditionally focused on preparing students for postdoctoral training and careers in academia. Wayne State University (WSU) doctoral graduate placement data parallels the national trend, which shows that less than 25% of PhD students ultimately obtain tenure-track faculty positions. Our recognition of this gap has motivated us to design an innovative initiative whose specific purpose is to transform our biomedical doctoral training such that both faculty and students recognize, appreciate and celebrate diverse career opportunities. The long-range goal is to institutionalize these practices so that our students become the next generation of innovators and leaders in science. The intended outcome of our program is to place students in diverse careers in addition to academia, and to educate the biomedical community that such diverse careers are viewed as desirable and successful outcomes of doctoral research training. WSU's Graduate School is leading this initiative to transform biomedical graduate education centrally across academic units and disciplines. Trainees will be prepared for a dynamic and evolving job market to meet the needs of the 21st century economy. These skill sets will be developed in partnership with local employers to provide mentored internships to ensure alignment between the expectations of diverse employers and the skills of our trainees, in keeping with WSU's urban location and urban mission. In addition to specific partnerships, students will have the opportunity for cross-training to develop a variety of skills allowing them to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams and to solve complex problems in an institution with urban motifs and research emphasis.

描述（由申请人提供）：全球经济环境重塑了我们正在准备生物医学博士生的就业市场。与此同时，大多数研究项目传统上侧重于为学生的博士后培训和学术生涯做准备。韦恩州立大学（WSU）的博士毕业生就业数据与全国趋势相似，该数据显示，只有不到25%的博士生最终获得终身教职。我们认识到这一差距促使我们设计一个创新的举措，其具体目的是改变我们的生物医学博士培训，使教师和学生都认识到，欣赏和庆祝多样化的职业机会。我们的长期目标是将这些做法制度化，使我们的学生成为科学领域的下一代创新者和领导者。我们计划的预期结果是将学生置于除了学术界之外的各种职业中，并教育生物医学界，这种多样化的职业被视为博士研究培训的理想和成功的结果。WSU的研究生院正在领导这一倡议，以改变生物医学研究生教育集中在学术单位和学科。学员将为一个充满活力和不断发展的就业市场做好准备，以满足世纪经济的需求。这些技能将与当地雇主合作开发，以提供指导实习，以确保不同雇主的期望与我们学员的技能之间的一致性，符合WSU的城市位置和城市使命。除了具体的合作伙伴关系，学生将有机会进行交叉培训，以发展各种技能，使他们能够在多学科团队中有效工作，并解决具有城市主题和研究重点的机构中的复杂问题。
