Episode notes
Many early career faculty take clinical jobs; but their ultimate plan is to succeed as researchers. Though challenging, it is possible to succeed. In this episode, we'll discuss how clinicians can make this transition.
Key Points Discussed:
- The Reality of a Clinical Start: Many clinicians begin their faculty careers with a primarily clinical role. This situation can still be the starting point for building a research program.
- The Importance of Commitment: In transitioning to a research-focused career, you need commitment. Your commitment helps you navigate the inevitable challenges and setbacks.
- Understanding the Research Training Gap: Clinical training is not research training. Training in research skills is needed to bridge the gap.
