Faculty Career Development Series
The ITHS Career Development Series consist of monthly lectures and workshops designed to provide junior faculty and investigators with tools, a forum for discussion, and learning opportunities to help advance their careers.
Topics
Topics are selected based on an annual needs assessment.

Where can I find a CDS event?
ITHS partners with several UW campus and WWAMI regional partners to ensure we reach and engage the translational workforce with each series. CDS events occur across the main UW campus, in the UW Medicine South Lake Union building, and are often captured on video and edited for online distribution to our regional partners. Many of our offerings are also broadcast live as webinars to allow for flexible viewing opportunities. Check out the calendar for specific upcoming event topics and locations.

Description
Right now, and over the course of your career, there are and will be many leadership roles and opportunities. There are a growing number of resources to support leadership development and training, but many scientists have not had training in leadership (e.g. in team, clinical, or academic leadership).
This year’s ITHS Team Science Seminar Series has focused on providing resources to help translational researchers develop their collaborative leadership potential. In our final session of the 2024-2025 series, we will focus on an important aspect of leadership—figuring out when and how to say “yes” vs. “no” when new opportunities arise.

Learning Objectives
- Compare & contrast 3 approaches to help guide decisions about saying “yes” vs. “no” to a new leadership opportunity.
- Evaluate alignment between goals & opportunities in real-world scenarios.
- Practice strategies for saying “no” to opportunities that are not a good fit with your goals.
- Formulate plans to be ready for anticipated & unanticipated growth & change.
