Abstract

Several factors play a role in job selection after completion of a hematology/oncology training program, such as a fellows’ overall career goals, expected income potential, and limitations imposed by visa status, among many others. Training programs play an integral role in mentoring trainees in career selection. For many, the first job is often not career-long. In addition to considerations for a fellow considering a first job out of fellowship, physicians will consider a change because of dissatisfaction at one’s current position, desire for advancement opportunities, or a desire to work in a different sector. Other factors include non-occupational issues such as career opportunities for a spouse or desire for a different geographic location. Frequent employment changes are common with crossover between academia, clinical practice, industry, or government service. Possessing the skills needed to recognize one’s strengths, weaknesses, and goal prioritization can allow for more optimal job selection should a career transition into a different discipline occur. Recognizing opportunities that present themselves and potentially taking advantage of them can lead to professional and personal growth.
