- Outlines strategies for success on a personal and professional level
- Includes the journeys and reflections of a wide variety of medical educators in their own professional identity development
- Discusses personal development topics such as the medical science educator as a role model; engaging with others in intellectual, personal, and professional activities; and discovering your “why” as a medical science educator
- Discusses curriculum development topics such as the role of the medical science educator in the development and implementation of curricula; the role of the educator as a facilitator, instructional designer, and navigator; the medical educator’s role in contrast with artificial intelligence; and more

- A unique and practical resource for assistant, associate, adjunct, and full professors of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, cell biology, neuroscience and any basic sciences at medical, dental, PA, nursing, and other allied health programs—and for students who are preparing for careers in these areas
