Develop a time line needed for completing your academic program, including academic milestones and career goals.
Include plans for how you can tailor your program or fellowship to develop your skills and competencies. How much time will you allocate to professional development? How will you obtain skills that need further development. A blank template for a program timeline is provided in the FGSR handout.
Example:
Academic Requirements: Year 1 - Course work, ethics, research proposal, data collection, annual committee meeting
Professional Development: Year 1 - Start LinkedIn profile, attend PD Week sessions, identify career paths, start building network
