"This book is well written and full of detailed advice supported by experience. Anyone planning a career in academic medicine and many of those already in the middle of their academic career will find this book an invaluable resource." (Holly Salzman, Family Medicine, Vol 52 (1), 2020)
"The purpose is to provide guidance for clinician-educators and their advisors, and describe dilemmas inherent to academic promotions in this changing healthcare environment. ... I highly recommend this book for those entrusted with granting academic promotions, for academic leaders concerned with updating promotions criteria, and, especially, for academic clinicians and their advisors trying to navigate a confusing but potentially gratifying process." (Marjorie Greenfield, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
