Working with medical students and residents is one of the most satisfying experiences physicians encounter. Sometimes you plan for it, sometimes it just happens. Helping educate the next generation is a great way to keep updated but also can be a new skill for physicians.  Try it out, most do it without payment. Allow students to shadow you or mentor a future physician. The AAMC has a great article about inspiring the next generation of academic physicians.   Review it and then you can decide to add this dimension to professional repertoire. We can help you enhance your teaching through faculty development. Think about it for a while. Then, let’s connect and see what we can offer to strengthen your CV for an academic faculty appointment.
