AB Academic divisions of general internal medicine have developed and flourished
in the last 2 decades. Young faculty can join these divisions in 1 of 3 possible
career paths: clinical educator, clinical researcher, and, most recently,

pathway, and rewards and challenges for each path for students and residents
considering a career in academic general internal medicine.
