The Academic Medicine Starter Kit: Timeless Tips & Guidance for Early-Career Faculty Members aims to equip you with the advice, strategies, tools, and wisdom to build a successful career in academic medicine. It represents a culmination of over five years of in-depth interviews on the Faculty Factory podcast, featuring more than 120 academic leaders and faculty members from 31 academic health centers across North America.

We have organized the book into eight chapters, each focused on thematic content. The content areas include Promotion, Research & Scholarship; Mentorship, Coaching, & Sponsorship; Education; Self-Awareness, Self-Management, & Well-Being; Leadership; Networking; Communication; and a “catch-all” category of wisdom we’re calling “Pod” Potpourri. You can order a print version of this book, or a Kindle version of it, on Amazon.
