Sunday, October 12, 2025
10:00 AM - 10:50 AM EDT
Location: Wabash Ballroom 3
CME/MOC Credit: 1
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: What comes after reasonable mastery of clinical medicine? In today’s health care environment, Otolaryngologists are looking beyond just the daily care of patients. This panel will explore mindset and options when we reach this inflection point. Questions to examine are: Is it time for a job transition? How does one step into senior mentorship and mentoring junior partners/faculty? What are other options for leadership? How to partner with Industry? When and how do you say no? How does one maintain wellness in this next phase? Four past Young Physicians Section Chairs, who are officially and formally no longer young physicians, will discuss these topics in a candid, personal, and open ended way to help attendees gain insight and perspective.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Explore the myriad pathways for growth beyond daily clinical medicine
  2. Demonstrate how Academy membership can foster growth of opportunities
  3. Develop mindsets and perspectives for mid career transitions
