How to get a career in academics ?

Hello guys ! I have just matched into a IM community program (probably univ, affiliated). Hoping to go into fellowship. What are the options for going into academics later on (teaching, research) ? Do these positions require extra credentials ? And is it possible to get involved even after i matched into a community program ? Thanks
