Hello Jessica, there are almost always opportunities for advancement in any place of employment. Also opportunities for advancement won't always come to you, sometimes you need to come to them. If you have a place in mind you want to be within your employer or potential employer you are interviewing for, express interest that way the next time that opportunity does come up your manager can approach you or put your name out there to the interviewer looking for that position. Sometimes your manager may even approach you and say they have an opportunity in mind for you they think you'd be a perfect match for. All it takes to land an opportunity is hard work, dedication, showing your employer or potential employer you are reliable and time. Best of luck!

After residency, physicians choose private practice or academic medicine.
In academics there are opportunities to advance from instructor all the way to full professor and even chairman of department based on teaching, research and clinical duties.
Many private practices start new physicians as associates but allow them to buy into the practice to become partners after a set number of years.

There are definitely many opportunities for career advancement and professional opportunities. There are many programs both internally and through industry partners that you can take advantage of to advance and grow. I started in a clerical position and worked my way up to Regional Manager.

Yes! Always. First, every field has continuing medical education requirements along with each person's own desire to stay current and practice excellent medicine. In addition, there are so many conferences and learning experiences all over the country. Finally, the internet has made current practices and medical information readily available to everyone.
