Abstract
Demystifying the process of the critical transition from trainee to academic physician is an important goal in efforts to attract and retain talent in academic medical centers. Providing you with knowledge, skills, and resources that allow for informed decision-making when pursuing a position in academic medicine may help you gain greater self-efficacy towards obtaining an academic physician job. In this chapter, information about finding an academic position after residency is provided along with important considerations for selecting an academic position and preparing for successful academic career progression and promotion.
We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun. – Neil DeGrasse Tyson, 2017
