Individual Development Plans

Graduate students

To assist PhD graduate students to achieve their career goals, the School of Graduate Studies in the Health Sciences has a policy that mandates all PhD graduate students to develop and use an Individual Development Plan. All graduate students will review their IDP with their research mentor and program director at least once per year during one or both of the twice-annual student progression review meetings.
