Abstract
This may sound very corny, but I love my job and feel very fortunate to be able to do what I do!! I am in the Department of Psychiatry, University of Michigan, where I am clinical professor and associate chair for education and academic affairs and Director of the Psychooncology Program at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. I am also President-Elect of the American Psychiatric Association (APA). I have a 14-year-old daughter, Erica, and a 26-year-old daughter, Alissa, who just finished law school. My husband, Arthur, is a very busy clinical cardiologistwe have been married for 31 years. My life is quite busy and very full! My gestalt on developing an academic career has been to "follow the leader". I have been lucky to have had excellent mentors who have steered me in wise directions. In turn, I try to be a mentor for others. The clinical educator track has been an excellent vehicle for development at the University of Michigan. I have been able to move up professionally, doing what I like to doteaching and seeing patients; doing scholarship in my clinical area, psycho-oncology; and being rewarded for involvement in national organizations.
