The UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care’s PARADIGM initiative and the North Carolina Central University Biological & Biomedical Sciences Department present a 1-day career workshop for undergraduate students. The goals of the workshop are to 1) introduce NCCU undergraduates and local community college students to applications of genetics & genomics; 2) increase students’ awareness about potential careers in the field; and 3) highlight opportunities for internships and further training at area institutions. The workshop will consist of concurrent breakout sessions featuring applications of genomics, a poster session, panel discussion, and during lunch students will have the opportunity to chat with career professionals in several related fields.
