There has never been a more exciting time to become a neurologist. As we emerge from training in clinical neurology after 4 or more years of residency and fellowship, many of us are faced with the core challenge of how to define and develop our career identity. That is, how do we continue to take great care of our patients, and now also advance our careers and make contributions to a dynamic field? Here, we focus on developing career identity within academic neurology, noting that careers in private practice neurology and other settings have unique sets of challenges, rewards, and opportunities.
