Surviving in Academic Medicine (Advice for MD-PhDs)

It’s a bold move to ask someone who is NOT a clinician investigator (and barely considered an academic) for advice on how to succeed in academic medicine… but ask and ye shall receive. This is a version of a talk I gave to MD-PhD students in June 2025. In it, I’ll offer my opinion on how to have a job that you love by securing funding, balancing clinical work, avoiding burnout, and keeping your career from turning into the prize counter at Chuck E. Cheese. - SECTIONS: 0:42 – Introduction: Abraham Wald and survivorship bias. 5:48 – Think hard about your goals. 10:44 – Assess your competitive advantage. 13:06 – This is your career, not Chuck E. Cheese. 18:16 – Loyalty needs limits. 19:54 – Develop a healthy relationship with competition. 22:45 – Build founder skills. 27:42 – Carefully configure clinical time. 32:15 – Do what you love. 34:58 – Be skeptical. _ REFERENCES: In order of mention… -Wald A.
