PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This panel will be presented by four past chairs of the Young Physicians Section who will discuss their career paths. As these past chairs age out of YPS, pathways for their activities and leadership in academia will be presented. Topics will include: accomplishing successful research, establishing focused clinics programs, lessons learned from YPS leadership, and furthering involvement in AAOHNS leadership after YPS. Equally important, suggestions on balancing a fulfilling family/home life will be shared. All panelists are married with young children; the difficulties met daily in supporting work/life balance while meeting academic expectations will be explored. Pitfalls to avoid and what we learned from our failures will also be discussed.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 1: Recognize how Academy participation can help support an academic career

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 2: Explore specific challenges to work/life balance in the early career.

OUTCOME OBJECTIVE 3: Identify pitfalls and mistakes experienced by others in their early career as a cautionary tale

BACKGROUND STATEMENT: Young Physicians starting in academia are faced with many challenges, all often while trying to simultaneously address family and life.
