Reflecting on Growth: Career Readiness in Biomedical Science

This Signature Experience has been a transformative part of my academic and professional journey. It gave me the opportunity to not only deepen my scientific knowledge but to apply it in a way that directly relates to real-world careers in biomedical sciences.Through my internship at AbbVie, I engaged in a high-level training program that blended disease-state education with practical, field-based communication strategies. I studied advanced immunological treatments, participated in exam prep and simulations, and developed the confidence to present complex topics to both professionals and lay audiences. These experiences helped me build career readiness competencies, including:Scientific communication: I learned how to present technical information in a clear and engaging way, something that’s crucial whether you’re working with healthcare providers or patients.Teamwork and collaboration: I trained alongside a nationwide intern cohort and worked with experienced mentors and sales trainers, learning how to receive feedback, collaborate, and think critically under pressure.Self-leadership and adaptability: Moving to a new city and adapting to a fast-paced internship taught me how to manage uncertainty, prioritize, and advocate for myself when needed.Cultural competence: Coming from a multicultural background, I recognized the importance of connecting with diverse patients and professionals. This internship reinforced the need for empathy and understanding in every interaction.
