Abstract

There are limited resources for guidance on the transition from fellowship into a new faculty role in pediatric infectious diseases. This review aims to address this gap and provides a framework for a successful transition that is composed of four essential pillars—(1) stepping into your role, (2) finding your niche, (3) building your network, and (4) self-care—all of which are supported by strong mentorship/sponsorship and continual realignment with one’s personal mission statement. In addition to providing general principles and guidance, this review also outlines specific steps that a junior faculty member can take to expand their influence and build a successful, fulfilling career in pediatric infectious diseases.
