School of Management,
Boston University.
Lauren Celano- Founder and CEO of Propel Careers
Abstract: This session is focused on getting the EMBS trainees up to speed on the ins and outs of both an academic and industry career in biomedical engineering. Depending on what you intend to pursue, you must know what you are getting yourself into and become familiar with the "currency" you need to trade with. Our speakers will include senior academics and industry-based career development professionals who will provide coaching in terms of what is expected of you for each professional career, what you need to do to achieve your aims and how to keep your career plan up to date to get you closer to your end goals.
Presentation Materials:
Jonathan Rosen: Career Strategies for a changing world. EMBC 2011 Workshop. Boston, USA.
Lauren Celano: Planning your Future:
Putting together a short and
long term career plan. EMBC 2011 Workshop. Boston, USA.

Speakers:
Dr. Christopher James - Co-Director Institute of Digital Healthcare and Professor of Healthcare Technology, University of Warwick, EMBS Europe AdCom Representative, IEEE UKRI Section Chairand.
Dr. Cristian A. Linte - Research Scientist at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, former EMBS Student Representative re-hosted the workshop initially featured at EMBC'09.
Abstract: for many of us, oral presentations can be the prime means for communicating our ideas and our research, not only to our peers, but also to our employers and to potential customers. As students, you are no exception - the prospect of an oral presentation can be daunting, the pressure is on to make a good impression with your research. That we are scientists presenting sometimes very complicated scientific ideas and results need not necessarily be a recipe for a sleep inducing "death by PowerPoint" presentation, rather there are simple ways in which we can all try and make our presentations effective and captivating. This session aims to give you some all-round pointers on the "dos" and "don'ts" of preparing and delivering an effective presentation that best conveys your ideas smoothly, understandably and, most important, succinctly.
