Women in Medicine Letter from the Publisher Autumn has traditionally been a time to get back into your routine.
Summer vacations are over and the kids are back in school.
In the spirit of that tradition, this issue of Women in Medicine brings you several articles about making plans for your career and your future as both a woman and a woman in medicine. We begin with your curriculum vitae. I ve heard many physicians say they find it tedious and dull to keep their CV updated with all the minutiae of their career activities, but your curriculum vitae may well be one of the most important documents you will ever write. Now that your CV is ready, it s time to brush up on your negotiating skills. We have an in-depth story on page 40 that offers ways to negotiate higher compensation packages.
