How was the Physician Scientist Incubator valuable to you in your research and overall career goals?

The BWF Incubator Program was invaluable over the last year. The program trained me to critically read the scientific literature, grant proposals, and original research. It gave me a sense of scientific community and, at the same time, individual support from colleagues in the form of pertinent feedback. I also gained lasting benefit from the Statistics training, and am now able to appropriately apply statistical analyses to all of my own data. Finally, through its various mentoring avenues, I was able to put together a vision of what I wanted for my future.
