    AbstractIn the young and rapidly evolving field of hospice and palliative medicine (HPM), the transition from early to mid-career can be a precarious time. The high rates of burnout and low rates of work-life balance and satisfaction found in mid-career jeopardize our field's ability to maintain a healthy workforce. In this series, we present three cases that highlight common issues encountered during the early to mid-career transition in academic HPM and present several strategies for navigating challenges. A web of mentors/connections, academic map, and continuing education to enhance teaching skills are several concrete tools explored. To sustain a robust HPM workforce, such practical and structured supports during the particularly challenging mid-career transition are crucial.
