Robert B. Taylor, MD, has edited this book that introduces
physicians and clinicians to an academic career in the health
professions. Written from the clinician’s viewpoint, it guides
readers who are considering or who have recently embarked upon
such a career through the essentials. Taylor’s approach is
practical and well rounded. He integrates evidence-based
information from the medical literature with anecdotes from
contributors noted for their success in a spectrum of disciplines
at top academic medical centers. Taylor addresses the career
decision-making process, job hunting, and life in academia. He

writing. Advice on clinical practice, career management, and the
work/life balance is plentiful. The book dispels common myths and
outlines errors to avoid. Differences in expectations and culture
among teaching hospitals, medical schools, and academic medical
centers are considered throughout. Sources for more information
are provided as well.
