Continuous Priorities Year 1 Year 2 Year 3
- Keep a file of academic or research talks that can be used on the interview trail.
- Keep a "teaching dossier"of the presentations (oral or poster) performed at the local/regional/national/international levels, and retain, if available, any associated feedback from the conference providers. Proof of teaching skills may also be of importance in a clinician-educator career track.
- Decide what you will do after year 3: Academics? Private practice? Industry? Additional training?
- Even if your preference is to stay at your own institution, seriously consider looking elsewhere. A potential drawback of staying at your own institution is that it is sometimes hard to establish yourself as independent from your previous mentor.
- Strive to give talks at other institutions and present abstracts at meetings. Use discussions about your work to explore the potential for a position at other institutions.
- Request a recruitment package from potential employers.
- Begin your search for a position as an independent investigator or as a private practitioner.
