What is SMDP? 
The one year career mentoring program pairs ethnically diverse students
(Baccalaureate, Master or Ph.D.) and early career researchers with industry
mentors who work at companies in the medical technology, biotechnology and
consumer healthcare industries.

With their mentors, Scholars attend a 5-day training session to learn about
career opportunities in industry and receive career development coaching. They
also attend a major industry conference.

The goals of the program for the mentors, mentees and partner companies are
described in this presentation:

   SMDP Overview & Program Goals

Who may apply? 
Baccalaureate, graduate, Ph.D. students or Post-Doctoral researchers from racial
and ethnic groups (Hispanic Americans, Pacific Islanders, African Americans and
Native Americans), underrepresented in the medical technology, biotechnology and
consumer healthcare workforce.   

Applicants must be eligible to work permanently in the United States without
needing a visa or sponsorship.

The program application form lists the disciplines and skills we seek for each
sector. 

How do SMDP Scholars receive mentoring?
With their mentors, SMDP Scholars develop a Personalized Mentoring Plan which
includes goals and action items designed to prepare the SMDP Scholars for
careers in the medical technology, biotechnology or consumer healthcare
industries.

Mentor-mentee teams carry out their mentoring plans for a year following the
SMDP training session. They communicate monthly once a month by phone, email and
virtually, aided by ICPD staff and the SMDP Mentoring Portal, a web-based tool
that supports mentor-mentee collaboration and communication.





How do I apply?

 * Complete the online SMDP application form.
 * Submit your resume and two letters of recommendation: one from a major
   instructor and one from your faculty advisor or a suitable substitute.
 * Submit a 2-page personal narrative describing how you think SMDP will enhance
   your education and professional development. Also include your long-term
   career goals, academic goals, and research focus. Lastly, discuss how an
   industry mentor will impact your career and what you expect to gain.

How is SMDP publicized and how are applicants invited?
The International Center for Professional Development (ICPD) distributes
information about the program through its websites and sends emails directly to
universities and academic institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico.
The SMDP Scholars Alumni have also become a large source for word of mouth
referrals.

How are SMDP Scholars selected?
Scholar selection for each program is carried out by a committee of
representatives from industry. Applicants are evaluated based on predetermined
criteria. The committee's recommendations are compiled and a summary report is
used to determine the final selection participants.

When will I be notified of my selection status?
Applicants will be informed of their selection status within 30 days after the
application deadline.
