Academic medical centers are measured in large part by how well they develop independent clinician-investigators. That talent pipeline determines who will advance the institution’s research mission and generate practice-changing oncology evidence in the years ahead.

With EHR-derived multimodal real-world data (RWD), fellows and junior faculty can develop and test hypotheses, garner peer-reviewed support, present at major conferences and build a publication record – work that informs and complements a center’s clinical trial portfolio.

This webinar highlights a successful mentor-mentee pair and explores how RWD has become one of the most effective resources for supporting early-career researchers.

Learnings include:

  • Why working with RWD can be an important part of a successful research program for mentors, and investigators
  • How mentor-mentee pairs structure projects with RWD to help early-career investigators build their skills and publication record
  • How everyday clinical questions can drive successful research
  • Practical ways to integrate RWD into training and development for fellows and junior faculty
