Overcoming Midcareer Malaise: The Value of Personal Rediscovery
1Department of Radiology, UMass Chan Medical School-Baystate, 759 Chestnut St, Springfield, MA 01199.
Abstract:
Midcareer faculty development is critical for continued career vitality and retention. However, limited formal programming exists to meet the needs of this group, which is at risk of experiencing a lack of career self-identity and a sense of being stuck. These feelings may lead radiologists to consider a change in practice type or location or even to exit the radiologist workforce. This viewpoint describes stressors and potential solutions to assist midcareer radiologists in regaining workplace engagement.
