New practitioners are challenged with transitioning from student and resident roles into those roles of an independent practitioner. Specific challenges include project undertaking and management; establishing an understanding of expected timeframes; incorporating efficiencies in daily workflow; establishing and enforcing personal limitations and asking for assistance. The new practitioner will achieve fulfillment in both his/her professional and personal life by incorporating techniques described to overcome those challenges associated with the demands of residency programs.
