What Physicians Should Consider When Moving Academic Institutions

Authors: Marquita Norman, MD, MBA, Resa Lewiss, MD, Jeffrey Druck, MD

Abstract

There is limited information and guidance for physicians transitioning from one academic institution to another. The following recommendations serve as a resource for academic faculty interested in moving to a different academic institution. The advice falls into three categories of preparation: self-reflection and discernment to determine personal preferences and professional priorities; considerations when preparing for an academic faculty interview; and aspects of the offer, opportunity, and negotiables to discern whether it is right. We acknowledge that the process is nuanced without one strategy that applies to all physicians.
