ACD Biomedical Workforce Working Group
•
The working group believes that graduate programs must accommodate a greater range of anticipated careers for students. Graduate programs should reflect that range, and offer opportunities for students to explore a variety of options while in graduate school without adding to the length of training.
•
Graduate programs should also openly communicate the career outcomes of their graduates to potential students.

Stony Brook University SOM – Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology http://www.pharm.stonybrook.edu/about-phd-graduate-program
The quality of the education and training offered by our Program is reflected by 38 years of continuous NIH-funded training grant support, the participation of many affiliated faculty outside of the core department and outstanding outcomes for more than 137 PhD graduates who hold academic positions at top Universities and in the pharmaceutical industry. In the last fifteen years, we have graduated 61 students, with an average time to degree of 4.9 years, with over 90% of our students graduating in no more than 6 years after entering the program.
