"I learned a lot from this experience, but perhaps most importantly, I learned about communicating my science. I used to cram my slides full of data, but I would go to scientific conferences and get lost during talks thinking it was my lack of understanding. Now I know that less is more." --Jiachen "Chenny" Zhuo, PhD, an associate professor of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine and 2023-24 Clinical/Translational/Public Health Training Track scholar. 

"I found the training track to be a transformative academic program. The didactic portions, peer project presentations, grantsmanship training, NIH study section, and exceptional mentoring and camaraderie have shaped me into a confident and well-rounded early-career scientist. I am grateful for the opportunities, the mentorship, and the rigorous and meaningful scientific training this program has provided me as a postdoctoral fellow. It has equipped me with a robust skill set, a heightened perspective, and a steady resolve to make a meaningful impact as a biomedical engineer working toward technologies that solve unmet clinical needs... I strongly endorse this program for any aspiring early career scientist." --Nikhil Pandey, PhD, a research associate in neurosurgery and 2022-23 Clinical/Translational Training Track scholar.

"The CARTI training track was an informative and engaging program that allowed me to network with other researchers on the UMB campus and exposed me to the various resources on campus... The time spent in each session was valuable and I know that the information I learned through this program will help me in the rest of my career." --Alexis Salerno, MD, an assistant professor of emergency medicine and 2022-23 Clinical/Translational Training Track scholar.
