Individual Development Plan (IDP)

An Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a valuable tool for reflecting on your graduate student experience, setting meaningful goals, and planning for your future. Through self-assessment and intentional goal setting, an IDP helps you identify your strengths, explore opportunities for growth, and connect your academic, professional, and personal aspirations.

Within the Graduate Student Medicine Wheel, the IDP supports a holistic approach to graduate student success by encouraging reflection across the Physical (Knowledge), Mind (Wisdom), Emotional (Awareness), and Spirit (Understanding) dimensions of your journey. By considering each of these interconnected areas, you can create a personalized plan that supports your well-being, professional development, academic progress, and sense of community throughout your graduate studies and beyond.
