Many receive limited orientation to academic medicine and may struggle to balance expectations while building a fulfilling, sustainable career. This preconference workshop—developed by members of the STFM Medical Student Education, New Faculty, and Faculty Development Collaboratives—offers a structured, supportive environment to help new and junior faculty succeed. Participants will engage in interactive sessions focused on core domains of academic medicine, including learner assessment, scholarship, professional well-being, and maximizing STFM resources. Through case-based discussions, collaborative activities, and practical tools, attendees will gain strategies to navigate academic roles with greater confidence and connection.
