The Second Mountain: Climbing the Challenges of Midcareer Radiology

A radiologist ’s career can be divided into the early, middle, and late phases. The midcareer phase is a particularly difficult period and has the highest rate of burnout among radiologists. Often throughout the early phase of a radiologist’s career, during residency, fellowship, and while a junior faculty me mber, there is an abundance of support to help in personal and professional growth, but this support often wanes as radiologists gain seniority. Unfortunately, this often leaves midcareer radiologists feeling forgotten, or “invisible.” This lack of support can lead to burnout, decreased job sati sfaction, and premature departure from the workforce.
