Albert Chen, an MD/PhD student at the University of Michigan designed the ACE plan. ACE is short for Active Career Exploration. According the Chen and colleagues within their four-part series on Science Careers, “ACE is your protocol for career experimentation, a logical progression of steps designed to overcome common barriers and give visible results after just 10 hours.”
Just 10 hours?
To be clear, the authors note that this means 10 hours within one month.
