It is important to set goals and have things to strive for in the professional aspect of life. These goals should be revisited often and evolve over the duration of ones' entire career. Below is my list of professional goals that I hope to accomplish within 5 years of graduation from my graduate program.
- Attain a position as a dosimetrist upon graduation from the UW-La Crosse medical dosimetrist graduate program
- Become a mentor for radiation therapy and dosimetry students that are completing their internships at our facility
- Join departmental committees to take part in improving the policies, procedures, and workflows within the department
- Continue to participate in research and write publications for professional journals
- Attend an AAMD conference to stay active in the professional community of medical dosimetry
