D. Professional Development Activities and Accomplishments.

It is recognized that many professional development activities are related to multiple categories and do not fit neatly into any one category. However, rather than repeating your activities and accomplishments in multiple categories, please choose the best-fitting category for each activity and document your activities there. (It may help to reference your personal statement when selecting in which category to place an accomplishment. For example, if your career goals include teaching and you have an activity that can fit into the teaching or outreach/practice categories, then you should list the activity under teaching.)

Please note: We have included all of these categories and examples to be inclusive and allow for diversity in accomplishments and activities—you are NOT expected to have accomplishments to list in every category! If you have nothing to list in a specific category please write N/A.
