Capstone: the interview
Run the screen this sector actually uses, get scored, get feedback, run it again.
Target level: Advanced — Applies the skill naturally, without having to think about it, including under stressful or challenging circumstances.
Why this design
A real interview with a real scorer, recorded, then run again after feedback. The last mile — translating what you can do into what you can say you can do.
What this evidences
- communication×1 at Advanced
- fortitude×0.6 at Advanced
- character×0.6 at Advanced
By the end, the learner can
- Cross-disciplinary communication mentorship: coaches researchers and technicians in communicating findings across scientific disciplines and to non-expert audiences
- Study communication framework: designs site-wide communication templates, consent scripts, and reporting workflows that standardize language across multiple concurrent protocols
- Regulatory agency liaison: leads verbal and written communications with FDA, IRB, or sponsor monitors, resolving complex queries and negotiating protocol clarifications authoritatively

Advanced is the target for this point in the program: Applies the skill naturally, without having to think about it, including under stressful or challenging circumstances.
