Moving from one state to another for a new position or opportunity is a common event for academic physicians. Although moving can be personally and professionally disruptive for everyone, it can be particularly challenging for academic physicians. From practical considerations such as applying for a new state medical license to professional challenges such as minimizing disruption to educational or research projects, there are numerous challenges associated with relocating to an academic institution in a new state. Despite the frequency with which academic physicians move between institutions in different states, we could not identify any practical guidance about moving in the literature. We searched the peer-reviewed literature, reviewed non-peer-reviewed open access sources, and drew from our own experience as academic physicians who have recently moved, and collated pertinent resources to develop a guide of what physicians need to consider when planning a move to a new position in a new state. Our review and guidance considers the following issues: state licensing, governmental certification, maintaining communication with collaborators and colleagues, working with institutional review boards regarding ongoing research projects, transferring funds from grants, transitioning out of clinical practice, and transferring data and resources. Anticipating the requirements and challenges of moving can help academic physicians, whether at the beginning, middle, or end of their careers, with the process of moving to a new state for a new position.
对于学术型医生来说，为了新职位或新机会从一个州搬到另一个州是常有的事。尽管搬家对每个人来说在个人生活和职业方面都会造成干扰，但对学术型医生而言可能尤其具有挑战性。从申请新的州医疗执照等实际考虑，到尽量减少对教育或研究项目的干扰等职业挑战，搬到新州的学术机构会面临诸多挑战。尽管学术型医生频繁在不同州的机构间调动，但我们在文献中找不到任何有关搬家的实用指南。我们检索了同行评议文献，查阅了非同行评议的开放获取资源，并借鉴了我们自己作为近期搬过家的学术型医生的经验，整理了相关资源，以制定一份医生在计划搬到新州担任新职位时需要考虑的事项指南。我们的综述和指南考虑了以下问题：州执照、政府认证、与合作者和同事保持沟通、就正在进行的研究项目与机构审查委员会合作、从拨款中转移资金、退出临床实践以及转移数据和资源。提前预想搬家的要求和挑战，有助于处于职业生涯初期、中期或末期的学术型医生应对搬到新州担任新职位的过程。
