After years of medical school, internship, residency and for some, fellowship - you finally become the attending physician, or in some countries, the consultant doctor. I’ve been at several conference panels where residents and fellows asked what they should know before being an attending physician. In the panels, there are attending physicians who are in private practice and in academia. I am surprised to hear the same themes coming up over and over again. I am going to share 5 things you need to know so that you get the ground running as you transition into your new job.
