In the medical profession, teaching has always been a routine expectation for practicing physicians. While this remains true today, in recent years, we have seen the emergence of a well-defined career pathway for those practicing physicians who want to focus on education: the clinician educator. This is a physician who is highly active in the practice of teaching, science of learning, service as a role model for young physicians, and leading educational programs. In nephrology, one can have a fruitful and fulfilling career as a lifelong clinician educator. As career interest in our specialty wanes, the clinician educator is the professional well suited to reverse this trend. In this article, we will further define the clinician educator and map out a pathway of skills needed to thrive in this rewarding career. We also provide recommendations to both educators and leaders to ensure the clinician educator pathway continues to grow.
在医疗行业，教学一直是执业医师的常规期望。虽然这在今天仍然是事实，但近年来，我们已经看到那些希望专注于教育的执业医师出现了一条明确的职业发展道路：临床教育家。这是一位在教学实践、学习科学、作为年轻医师榜样的服务以及领导教育项目方面非常活跃的医师。在肾脏病学领域，人们可以作为终身临床教育家从事富有成效和充实的职业。随着人们对我们专业的职业兴趣减退，临床教育家是非常适合扭转这一趋势的专业人员。在本文中，我们将进一步定义临床教育家，并制定出在这个有益的职业中取得成功所需的技能路径。我们还为教育者和领导者提供了一些建议，以确保临床教育家的职业道路继续发展。
