Join us at #SER2023 in Portland as we highlight career pathways for Master's Level Epidemiologists. 6/14 & 6/15 @ 12:15-1:15 PDT

@AshleyGeczik I also want to recognize @societyforepi, Sue Bevan, Courtney Long and the SER Communications Committee (Sunni Mumford, Ellie Murray, Rachel Sippy) for making this #KneeTwitterTakeover possible!

As I sign off, I specifically want to thank Susan Diaz, Megan Kemp & @AshleyGeczik from the Membership & Nominations committee for the invitation today!

Shameless plug: I didn’t join #SER until later in my career but wish I did earlier! I joined the first year of COVID to access the SERlibrary and attended the virtual SER annual meeting. I loved the content and sharing of ideas...and it focused me on areas for development.

Listening to leaders in the field share their thoughts and ideas has been an incredible way to explore new concepts and solidify older ones. What are your favorites?

Some of my favorite resources are @societyforepi (the SERlibrary) and the epi/stats/data science podcasting community. Check out: Free Associations, SERious Epi, Epidemiology Counts, Casual Inference, Shiny Epi People, NSSD, Learning Bayesian Statistics and others.

#EpiMasters professional development: this has become an almost daily goal of mine and resources have become so accessible that it is easy to fit it into my day. Sharing this with colleagues and mentors makes it even more fruitful.

@UMassAmherst @Baystate_Health @ElmsCollege @ErinJBowles More about my thoughts on professional development later!

@UMassAmherst @Baystate_Health @ElmsCollege I’ve thought about getting my PhD, but just like @ErinJBowles #BowlesTwitterTakeover, I was never quite ready. I was learning and growing in my position in ways I never thought possible.

My #EpiMasters journey was a curvy path. The short story involves surrounding myself with great colleagues, mentorship and family support! Professional development is also key. Always be willing to learn something new and don’t be afraid to make mistakes and ask questions!
