title: A letter to fellows: transitioning from training into practice in uncertain times.
abstract: The end of training marks the beginning of learning. Moving into practice is exciting, and there are good opportunities. Although there is still a great deal of uncertainty with the economy, you have a skill set that is in demand. By understanding your real priorities, being deliberate and organized in your search, and being willing to extend outside your comfort zone, you will find a practice that fits you. Each person has an ideal practice. Choose your new practice setting with your eyes wide open, especially regarding new changes that are expected with health care reform.
