Synopsis

This book increases undergraduate and graduate students' awareness of, interest in, and preparedness for academic health professions careers. It includes invaluable chapters that emphasize the importance of developing self-efficacy, knowledge, skills, and experiences not just for their resume but to build a foundation to strengthen students for the rest of their professional careers.
The book provides the reader with basic information, tools, and a competitive edge through inspirational narratives from diverse graduate students and faculty, self-assessment exercises, and case-based discussion. These invaluable, authentic narratives will inspire, hearten, and encourage readers to pursue their health professional and academic careers confidently. Additionally, chapters outline the necessary tools for getting the most out of one's educational, research, service and leadership activities and optimize their competitiveness for graduate school and as pre-faculty.
Unique, timely, and comprehensive, Health Professions and Academia provides undergraduate and graduate students with content to develop as competitive applicants to health-related graduate school and build a foundation from which they can establish successful careers in academia as future faculty, senior administrative leaders, and change agents.

Nicholas Brutus is a medical student at Albany Medical College who serves as the National Coordinator of Building the Next Generation of Academic Physicians (BNGAP) and is an aspiring academic physician. Since entering medical school, he continues to engage in diversity lead initiatives with the aim to increase representation within medical schools and the academic workforce. Nicholas has undertaken several leadership positions to promote inclusion of marginalized populations in medicine since entering medical school, including being elected as the Vice-President of Student Council for the 2020-2021 school year overseeing the student curriculum review committee, and he served as Chair on the Underrepresented Student Alliance (USA). Notably, Nicholas was selected as the President of the Albany Medical College's BNGAP Chapter for the 2021-2022 school year. As the National Coordinator of BNGAP, he oversees BNGAP student-led chapters across the nation and is involved in implementing and designing conferences to guide diverse learners to a potential career in academia. Nicholas hopes to embody the BNGAP mission of working to improve diversity in academic medicine and hopes to encourage those with the same passion to excel on their journey. Before medical school, Nicholas worked full-time for 2+ years in a medical device lab as a Quality Control Team Leader where he worked to improve infectious disease detection through in-vitro diagnostics. He helped in the development and improvement of rapid detection test kits for pathogens including SARS-CoV-2, HIV1/HIV2, Syphilis, Zika, among others. Particularly, Nicholas was a part of the quality research team that was granted one of the first Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) on a novel rapid COVID IgG/IgM antibody test kit in April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. He received his undergraduate degree from the City University of New York, Hunter College. He is also a proud son of Haitian and Jamaican immigrants born and raised in Long Island, New York.
