One pathway to academic success: autobiography of Dr Ronald G. Strauss

Abstract:
Often, I have been asked by "junior faculty"-who are usually burdened by substantial responsibilities in service and teaching-how they can launch their career in research as a means to succeed in academic medicine. Obviously, the answers/solutions are as diverse as are the circumstances of each questioner. In the following article, I offer the approach that I applied to my career-acknowledging that "one shoe doesn't fit all" and that others will advise differently. However, one truism exists whenever one seeks excellence in anything-the opportunity must be present to commit uninterrupted time for thought/concentration, organization, training/mentoring/study, and effort/hard work. Without such an opportunity, success in research will be elusive.
