ABSTRACT
[...]do you have a group of mentors with differing skills and positions to serve as a "board of mentors"? In selecting your board of mentors, consider individuals from college, medical school, and residency training who have had the most impact on your career and personal development, whether they be clinicians, administrators, or researchers.4 Strong leaders, gifted teachers, and subject matter experts are typical candidates, as are personal acquaintances such as colleagues, clergy, and psychotherapists. [...]many of SEAK's faculty work remotely. Sylvie Stacy, MD, MPH, author of 50 Nonclinical Careers for Physicians and founder of the popular blog Look for Zebras (https://lookforzebras.com), observes that physicians often consult with clients who are businesses;the doctors provide services involved in clinical expertise (e.g., chart review and expert witness), high-level healthcare strategy, practice technology implementation, and writing and speaking.7 Other consulting services are geared toward individuals, for example, career coaching, tutoring, and personal fitness training.
