Today's doctoral programs continue to prepare students for a traditional academic career path despite the inadequate supply of research-focused faculty positions. We advocate for a broader doctoral curriculum that prepares trainees for a wide range of science-related career paths. In support of this argument, we describe data from our survey of doctoral students in the basic biomedical sciences at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Midway through graduate training, UCSF students are already considering a broad range of career options, with one-third intending to pursue a non-research career path. To better support this branching career pipeline, we recommend that national standards for training and mentoring include emphasis on career planning and professional skills development to ensure the success of PhD-level scientists as they contribute to a broadly defined global scientific enterprise.
尽管研究型教职岗位的供应不足，但如今的博士项目仍在继续为学生们准备传统的学术职业道路。我们主张制定更广泛的博士课程，为学员准备各种与科学相关的职业道路。为了支持这一论点，我们描述了来自加州大学旧金山分校（UCSF）基础生物医学科学博士生调查的数据。在研究生培训中途，UCSF 的学生已经在考虑广泛的职业选择，其中三分之一的学生打算从事非研究职业道路。为了更好地支持这种多样化的职业管道，我们建议培训和指导的国家标准包括对职业规划和专业技能发展的重视，以确保博士级科学家在为广泛定义的全球科学事业做出贡献时取得成功。
