lab is like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. If you visit, it's magical and the students that I teach and the trainees who are sometimes in their 30s and even 40s who are you know, brilliant scientists,uh there's about 25 of us.
Remember, these were women who traditionally had to walk with a little broom to erase their footprints as they walked lest others be contaminated by them. The solution was peer pressure. Each new trainee was sent to the village of a more experienced community health worker. There, she could see the woman who started out just like herself had become bold and assertive. She could see that it could be done. After the initial training, the women

And the way we did this was we actually inadvertently had captured several thousand of these conversations between our training coordinators and our trainees , and we use that as an input to generate a conversation. And so by the end of that first fellowship, we had a strong proof of concept.
At age 18, we all became members of the Studio Company, which is like the young bucks. Then we became trainees . Then we became apprentices.
Carley. When I was then a young faculty member in Chicago, I had to interview students who wanted to come and be interns and trainees at our hospital. So I had different sorts of interviews. Some were interviews for students who -- to get more boots on the ground I would hire bright students to come work in my research laboratory for
But it was a moment that made me think, yeah, I'm stuck in trainee mode. I'm still seeing myself as a trainee , when I've got this enormous amount of experience and an education and the postdoc and everything else. And even though this award is officially a training award, it's for career development, and I need to stop seeing myself that way.
And I said to myself, oh, hell, no, I'm not going to be the only speaker from 9:00 to 5:00. And so I pulled two trainees in, Jose and Andres. And they're in the 18-month training program.

here to try to sell anything really or to, I'm not doing this to make money. I feel I have a valuable message especially more young medical trainees or actually any bright college age person or professional. I hope that you'll actually. You can skip the chess parts. If you'll actually look at it over the holidays, it's entertaining and I think you'll take something away from it.
So every day, I learn something new. So whether you're starting off as a trainee and people look at you like, she's not going to last-- like, this is not going to--
These days, a popular Taekwondo demonstration team is flying around on YouTube. Not all Taekwondo athletes can do that. There are only a few. That is also a dream of every Taekwondo trainee . I really wanted to mimic those guys with a privilege of zero gravity, so I do not know how many times I tried to put the timer on the camera to catch the right pose.
It was a pretty intense episode. And I took Theo as my prep cook trainee .
There's something missing in how we're approaching these. 1997, I was a trainee at Sloan-Kettering. A kid, 25 year old kid, had germ cell tumor of the brain, the lung, and the liver.
Awesome. OK. Speaking more of your experience and the experience of medical students throughout history, And he originated the term "resident" because he required his trainees to live at the hospital full time for the entire eight-year duration of their training.

In my case, I needed to learn not only the language but also how to escape during emergencies, how to eat, sleep, wear, and wash in Russian. The most difficult part was that the instructor teaches the trainees basic living in the space as if we were one year-old baby. including how to use the bathroom and what to do. We all know what to do, but we just do not know how to do this in the space.
We have a few different planes, a couple of different environments. And these simulations can be set by the trainer to put the trainee or the de-icer who needs recertification in for any scenario that they choose with all of these different variables.

But I think there's a way in which jargon can obscure how much you actually understand or how deeply you can actually explain something. And so especially with trainees , or when I'm trying to think about what kind of example I want to set for the kind of doctor that I want people I'm working with
And we have a very robust training program at Trevor. And throughout that couple-month training, our trainees conduct four or so of these role play conversations before they're able to take a real chat with a young person.
And it takes about an hour and a half of staff time to both plan and host these role plays. So we figured if we could come up with some kind of a simulator for trainees to talk to, we could really increase the throughput of the training program and thus bring on a lot more digital crisis counselors, which is super important.
But in Mexico, when you have trainees , I try to educate and be mentor of women
