This is an external event held by NIH OITE.

About the Series

The goal of this series is to provide trainees with the resilience tools needed to study and work in high-knowledge environments. The material will help trainees develop well-being, assertiveness, and feedback skills with the goal of improved relationships in research groups and beyond. The series is helpful for trainees and fellows at all levels. The series is also helpful for fellows who supervise others and wish to develop strong mentoring skills for the future. There are five sessions in the series. Each session includes a lecture followed by a facilitated small group discussion allowing you to share your experiences and learn from peers.  While it is best to attend the entire series, you may attend individual sessions. Trainees who participate in all five lectures and attend at least four small group discussions will receive a certification of completion.

Session topic

We all experience setback and disappointments in science, work, and life. In this webinar we will look at seven key elements of resilience with a focus on building habits that promote healthier responses and resilient behaviors in the face of set-back in educational and work environments.

This event counts toward the Postdoctoral Professional Development Certificate (*HW, CP)
