#IDResearchChallenges 🥼🧫🧬👨🔬👩🔬Week 8- November Success
Most respondents thought:
IM projects finishing now should focus on writing and publishing ASAP
My thoughts below:
#IDResearchChallenges 🥼🧫🧬👨🔬👩🔬Week 8- November Success
Case: You mentor an IM resident vaguely interested in ID. Your project finishes data analysis in November!
Do you:
65%Write and publish now
26%Submit to IDWeek in May
9%Submit to nonIDWeek conf

23 votes • Final resultsNow my thoughts: from day 1, I tell my trainees my expectation is for a national presentation and a manuscript.
If ahead of schedule, I tend to have them write manuscript and submit later in the year (July/Aug) so they can still get the experience of IDWeek
Thank you @bryan_p_white!
I completely agree. While @IDWeekmtg is a fantastic meeting, not having a completed manuscript will be what gives me heartburn as a mentor.
I’ve had a couple trainees finish project early, but only one where we held it for a while b4 submission

Case: When you have a new idea for a research project and don’t have a particular mentee in mind….
Most respondents would reach out to training programs to find perspective mentees.

Thank you #IDtwitter for perspectives!
I hope others find it useful. I’m planning #IDResearchChallenges 🥼🧫🧬👨🔬👩🔬Week 8 next weekend
Please let me know if there is a way I could make this more useful for others
Thanks @lichenlady94!
An option not mentioned is having colleagues recommend a trainee for project or to co-lead a project with another colleague! Always great to work with a diverse team and get multiple perspectives on a project
