For many graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, even those with an international background careers outside the US remain terra incognita. While planning an overseas move can be daunting, such careers offer unique and rewarding opportunities that can boost and enhance trainees’ career development outcomes. During this session, we offer advice on preparing for success outside the US research ecosystem by discussing potential challenges facing trainees who wish to be globally mobile and will share resources that trainees who are exploring or planning a move overseas can use.
