  • Summary

  • This podcast from McGill’s Institute of Health Sciences Education invites renowned health sciences researchers to share insights, guidance and pearls of wisdom on building successful careers in academia and scholarship. Access to mentorship is becoming a scarce resource. The goal of Ask 5 is to try to democratize access to this insider knowledge, asking questions like: What important and unexpected skills do I need to be a researcher? What should I look for in a mentor? How do I handle – and overcome – rejection? Alongside host Monica Molinaro, PhD, guests tackle these questions and more.
