Success in Academic Medicine
To support individuals in navigating the early stage of their career and the transition from resident to attending faculty, we offer a bimonthly Success in Academics lecture series designed specifically for fellows and first-year faculty to gain insights into the world of academic medicine.
Presented by Department of Emergency Medicine faculty, these lectures cover topics such as time management, academic productivity, financial literacy, burnout and resiliency, to help you grow professionally and academically.
Our Success in Academics lecture series offers more than quick-hitting tips and practical know-how for early-career physicians. It’s an extension of our enduring commitment to mentorship and holistic investment in individual success. See what some past fellows have said about the lecture series:
“This lecture series was a big part of why I chose to come to UW for my fellowship training. I like that the department wants [fellows] to succeed, and this series highlights this commitment.”
“In all my training, not once have I received a lecture on time management, and I really appreciated this.”
“I was looking for a new framework, and this lecture series offered me a manageable solution.”
