Dr. Hanson’s Prescription for Success:
Number 1: Embrace new opportunities and seek-out mentors. Whether you were writing your first peer-reviewed medical literature article, your first book, your first grant or climate contract application or your first patent. Be sure that you take that project all the way to completion. Mentors can help bridge the gap in your experience or training.
Number 2: Network consistently and consistently invest in yourself. Networking is a career-long activity and social media has made this even easier. LinkedIn has allowed me to build an extensive Department of Defense and federal agency network that I can reach out to subject matter experts and connect on specific topics. Invest in yourself by consulting with your network as colleagues.
Number 3: Pursue training in business prior to or following medical school. We’re not frequently taught business or economics in medical school. Business training will help you in many ways, from building your own practice to improving your interaction with your colleagues and administrators in the hospital.
