Missouri ACP is excited to provide the video series "Career Paths in IM." This video series is a great resource for early career physicians, residents, and students. We have interviewed members from a variety of subspecialties within Internal Medicine who provide insight into their area of work, what took them down that path, and an inside look into their work day. Additionally, each video provides additional information on topics such as work-life balance, interviewing, what to look for in an employer, and some of the obstacles they have overcome in their careers.
A new video will be posted to the Missouri ACP YouTube account each week and a link will be provided below. We hope you take the time to watch the videos and hear the advice and insight being provided by physicians of all ages and backgrounds.
