Now 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

I like the write and publish now. Doing a poster is a good experience, but there is a decent amount of time spent fomatting and polishing it. Depending on the project, it could go to the SHEA spring meeting.

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
