The Early Career Committee of the Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care and Resuscitation Council of the AHA recommends that mentoring be sought early during training and initial faculty appointments. Career success requires meaningful mentorship relationships that in addition to obtaining grant funding can lead to the development of adaptive skills to the meet demands of academic careers and improve the integration of our professional and personal lives. A physician-scientist’s long-term academic success needs to combine long-term higher-risk projects with short-term low-risk projects.27
