Abstract
Career transitions are an essential part of the evolution of one's professional life. Transitions can take place at any time and for a variety of reasons. In this article, I review career transitions in the context of my own experiences and offer some advice and guidelines for making a career transition. The article also reviews what opportunities exist for career development and how that can lead to new and future prospects. Finally, achieving work-life balance can be difficult in today's health care landscape. Setting priorities and revisiting one's life plan on a regular basis establishes a professional "true north" to help navigate the challenges and disruptions of health care.
