  1. INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS: CHARTING YOUR COURSE Philip S. Clifford, Ph.D. Associate Dean for Postdoctoral Education Professor of Anesthesiology and Physiology Medical College of Wisconsin

  2. Which way to Jeff City?

  3. “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to walk from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where --”

  4. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you walk,” said the Cat. “-- so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added. “Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if you only walk long enough.”

  5. GOALS OF AN IDP • Identify long-term career options and the tools necessary to succeed • Identify short-term needs for improving current performance • Develop clearer sense of expectations • Set milestones along the way to achieving specific objectives

  6. Step 1. Conduct a Self Assessment • Evaluate your personal values, skills, and interests. • Identify your strengths and areas that need improvement. • Get feedback from lab associates, friends, spouse, parents.

  7. SKILLS(www.the-aps.org/education/skills.htm) • Core Science Knowledge • Lab Skills • Analytical Skills • Teaching Skills • Communication Skills • Management Skills • Career Development Skills

  8. JOB SATISFACTION SKILLS VALUES INTERESTS

  9. Step 2. Survey Career Opportunities • Identify realistic career opportunities. • Determine developmental needs by comparing current skills and strengths with those needed for your career choice.

  10. CAREER RESOURCES • Books (www.mcw.edu/research/postdoc) • Science’s Next Wave • Professional Societies • Seminars • Personal Interactions • Casual interactions • Informational interview • Mentor • NSF/NIH Websites • National Postdoctoral Association

  11. TWO BEST TOOLS • Networking - connecting to people with useful information • Informational interview - inside information on career choices

  12. Step 3. Write an IDP • Identify your career trajectory. • List specific skills and strengths that you need to develop. • Define the approaches and time frames to obtain the skills (e.g. courses, technical skills, teaching, supervision). • Discuss draft IDP with mentor and revise.

  13. “The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen. In conversation you can get away with all kinds of vagueness and nonsense, often without even realizing it. But there’s something about putting your thoughts on paper that forces you to get down to specifics. That way, it’s harder to deceive yourself or anybody else.” Lee Iacocca

  14. Step 4. Implement Your Plan • Put your plan into action. • Review the plan and your progress with your mentor regularly. • Revise the plan as necessary.

  15. ANNUAL REVIEW(Short Version) • What have you accomplished over the past year? • How has your plan changed? • What are your plans for the future?

  16. OBJECTIVE RESULTS • Sigma Xi Postdoctoral Survey • Those with a plan were: more satisfied more productive less likely to have conflict with PI
