Mastering micro negotiations for clinicians

Clinicians often find themselves facing negotiations they may not have anticipated: the micro negotiations. These encompass the subtleties of managing your schedule, fostering collaborations, and navigating mentoring relationships. Paradoxically, it's these seemingly minor interactions that wield the greatest influence on the life of a clinician-scientist, because they unfold daily.

To truly excel in steering your career, it's crucial to hone your skills in these micro negotiations—those small but significant conversations that enable you to carve out the time essential for your work. For instance, you might have officially negotiated 75 percent protected time on paper, only to find yourself in a clinic perpetually brimming with demands, making it seemingly impossible to attain that 75 percent.

So, the question becomes: How can you transform what's written on paper into a tangible reality?
