Review of The Three Stages of a Physician's Career: Navigating from Training to Beyond Retirement.

Reviews the book, The Three Stages of a Physician's Career: Navigating From Training to Beyond Retirement edited by Neil H. Baum, Joel M. Blau, Peter S. Moskowitz, and Ronald J. Paprocki (2017). This step-by-step guide for physicians (although somewhat germane to other health care providers) advises clinicians about molding and self-managing their career to cultivate the most satisfying trajectory. Uniquely, the book provides a detailed examination of physicians' career development, highlighting challenges and expectations physicians encounter while matriculating through critical career changes. Each milestone requires a different strategy and approach, as described in the three sections of the book. The book concludes with strategies on how to manage life after a medical career. Whereas the book is valuable for physicians and other health care professionals, some content is limited to independent practice settings. (PsycINFO Database Record
