In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Pedro Ramirez, is joined by Dr. Robert Coleman. Dr. Coleman is a Gynecologic Oncologist and Chief Medical Officer at Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) in Nashville, TN. His research interests include drug development, clinical trial design and global medical education in gynecologic oncology.

Highlights:

- Strong mentorship is vital to personal and academic development. However, it is a two-way street. True synergy will come from bilateral engagement.

- Remember your clinic is your “laboratory” – keep a keen eye for clinical relationships, build hypotheses, and practice the exercise of how to best test it. Even in resource-constrained situations, the process of discovery and hypothesis testing will arm one to be a better investigator and to most appropriately interrogate the literature.
