Abstract

Transitions during a career in cardiothoracic surgery include transition to practice following residency, multiple transitions over the course of the career, and transition to retirement. Each carries some degree of uncertainty and stress, and early preparation for each transition is key to success. A clear understanding of both professional and personal goals drives decisions and choices along the course of a career. It is crucial to seek legal counsel with expertise in physician employment contracts. Developing collegial and collaborative relationships should be a focus throughout one's career. This article outlines the key elements to successful career progression.
