Life as a physician is rewarding but at times, can be challenging. It is imperative physicians care for themselves while caring for patients and advancing science and medicine. In this six-part series, we address three topics relevant to the medical community where advice is often sought yet elusive: transitioning to life after medicine, the importance of mentorship and sponsorship throughout one’s career, and the nuances of financial health and solvency.  We welcome you to learn more about these vital topics.
