This 2nd edition has been updated and offers residents an even more useful, step-by-step guide to achieving a successful and fulfilling career in medicine. The book's authors began running seminars at Stanford to advise their residents on various important topics not traditionally taught in medical school or residency, but all essential for establishing a successful career in medicine. These topics include creating a curriculum vitae and landing a great job, financial advice for student loans and retirement planning, understanding malpractice insurance, applying to medical staffs, and other important topics. Each chapter from the previous edition is expanded and updated.
