Abstract

This study is written in editorial style from the perspective of a fellow-in-training. The editorial profiles specific principles to assist other fellows as they deliberate on the choice between an academic versus private practice career in cardiovascular medicine. Among the key principles are: outlining the general differences between academic and nonacademic careers, identifying the areas of overlap and change, understanding the heterogeneity within academia, and choosing the opportunities that invest in your success. Emphasis is also placed on outlining ways in which one can advance their competitive frontier in cardiology. In conclusion, this editorial emphasizes guiding principles to help fellows-in-training as they search for a career in cardiovascular medicine that fosters growth and empowers them to achieve their professional goals.
