Professional Development Treks
A key goal of a myCHOICE Experience is to provide real-world practical experience in a specific career field beyond academic research. The Trek format allows trainees to travel with a cohort of trainees with similar interests to a hand-picked selection of companies and/or organizations within a single field. The Trek is ideal for individuals who have largely decided on a specific career trajectory and are building their professional network towards that outcome..
Next Up: Computational Biology (Bay Area) Spring 2023

What trainees are saying about Treks
Attending the myChoice Computational Biology trek (2019) was an amazing experience because it allowed me to get exposure to a wide range of interesting companies in the SF Bay Area. Through this experience I was motivated to steer my job search to look specifically for smaller companies with a genomics platform. Afterwards I was lucky enough to have the hiring manager from one of my favorite companies reach out so I could interview for a position, and I got the job! It was nice because I had a chance to talk with people from that company extensively during one of the dinner networking events, which contributed to the interview offer. Overall I would highly recommend this trek to future students! Thank you MyChoice!
