A key strategic goal for the Academy is to develop, nurture and support talented leaders in healthcare and medical science research. Our programs offer outstanding researchers from all relevant disciplines the opportunity to network, learn and develop their careers.
Designed to support and attract diverse candidates throughout Australia and across a range of disciplines and at varying stages of their career, participants need not be Fellows of the Academy.
All of our programs offer researchers the opportunity to benefit from high-quality mentorship and networking with Academy Fellows.
As well as mentorship programs, the Academy recognises outstanding achievements of rising stars in health and medical research through the honorific award – the Jian Zhou medal.
If you’re looking to advance your career in medical or health research, our mentorship program may be right for you. Our experienced Fellows are paired with rising stars in scientific research as mentors. Part of the mentorship relationship is to provide independent advice and experienced guidance to help support the development of your career as well as leadership advancement opportunities and succession planning.
