About

A forum with webinars to discuss your career journey. Potential topics include:

Getting Started: New graduates or clinical staff, how do you get your foot in the door of this exciting industry.

Between jobs: What happens when you end up between jobs either by choice or otherwise. How to stay connected. What is working for you or not.

AI Replacement: The toughest topic. How to avoid it. How to turn it to a positive.

Retirement: We spend a career in analysis, but it does not prepare you for the complexities of retirement. Understanding the emotional impact in addition to potential lifestyles.
