Academic Medical Centers (AMCs) are complex with multiple competing priorities. Navigating them, particularly as junior faculty, can be exceedingly challenging. Dr. Joseph Simone, a leading Hematologist/Oncologist and AMC leader, published "Simone's Maxims" in 1999, in which he outlined overarching themes in the function of AMCs (with a touch of cynicism and humor). We will convene with a group of DOM leaders to discuss if Simone's Maxims still hold true, and how understanding them can help us build a more satisfying career.

Our panel will include:

• Dr. Andrea Cherrington, Director of the Division of General Internal Medicine & Population Science
• Dr. Nicole Lohr, Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Disease
• Dr. Tracy Luckhardt, Direct of the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy & Critical Care Medicine

Please join us for an engaging discussion, keeping in mind the words of Dr. Simone: "Despite the problems, [a career in academic medicine] can be the most fulfilling and rewarding of professions, if taken with a sharp eye for reality, a dash of iconoclasm, and a ready sense of humor."
