The University of Pittsburgh Office of Academic Career Development (OACD) is dedicated to providing health science professionals and trainees with the professional tools, resources, and support they need to achieve their full potential as leaders in biomedical research, education, and clinical practice. As a model for comprehensive academic career development programs nationwide, the OACD seeks to empower the academic health science community, including graduate and medical students, postdoctoral associates and scholars, residents, clinical associates, and faculty by providing academic career development guidance, training, and support.

Professional and Career Development at Wake Forest University is a multi-dimensional endeavor. The faculty is deeply committed to providing all of its graduate students—masters and doctoral—with the best formal academic education and training possible, in order to prepare them to become independent, critical consumers and producers of knowledge and research. Faculty instructors, advisers, and mentors are critical to this academic experience. They fully expect their students to excel in their chosen academic field of study, they are likewise concerned about the individual student’s development as a whole person. Consequently, the Graduate School is committed to providing students with a variety of resources, services, and non-academic educational opportunities to enhance their formal graduate education and prepare them for post-graduate professions.
