ARVO/Alcon Pizza with the Experts

The ARVO/Alcon Pizza with the Experts event is supported by the ARVO Foundation through a grant from the Alcon Foundation.
Trainees, students and junior faculty, don't miss this unique opportunity to network and gain valuable information from those who have been in your shoes. This very popular program offers informal discussions over a pizza lunch on a wide range of topics to provide personal guidance, insight and skills to help you advance your career. Topics will focus on professional development, career guidance, and best practices of interest to basic and clinical trainees and clinician-scientists. A number of the roundtable topics will be specifically tailored to the needs of clinician-scientists and junior faculty.

Clinician-scientists, trainees and junior faculty have an opportunity to network and gain valuable insight from leaders in the field. Expert table hosts provide personal guidance and insight in a wide range of topics such as mentor-mentee relationships, getting published, interacting with industry and time management.

The Pizza with the Experts program is a component of the ARVO Clinician-Scientist Initiative, which is focused on recruiting and retaining clinicians worldwide who are actively engaged in vision research for a dedicated portion of their time.
