Internal Medicine is a broad specialty that encompasses both acute and chronic conditions in all organ systems. While its breadth and varied practice settings are part of the appeal of internal medicine training, it can also be daunting to choose a path as an early career physician.

This book aims to review the varied traditional and non-traditional paths that an internist’s career may take, as well as practical advice in navigating life after training. Topics covered include deciding on a fellowship, choosing the scope of practice, finding a niche within general medicine, the many roles of an internist, the job search, and career advancement tips. Also covered are many areas rarely discussed - the death of a patient, delivering bad news, getting sued, medical burnout, and more - as well as managing the work-life balance.
