The Early Career Section is seeking highly motivated individuals to join the 2022-2023 ACC.org Early Career Section editorial team. This page is dedicated to publishing content relevant to early career physicians in their first seven years post-graduation. Articles will cover a variety of topics, such as career and clinical practice choices, tips and reflections, financial planning, coding and billing, practice settings and College-related activities. Interested members are strongly encouraged to apply. This is a great opportunity to get involved with the College and provide your peers with information and opinion pieces via blog-style articles. Editorial team members will be responsible for writing two to three articles during their one-year term. Selected individuals will be expected to begin their one-year tenure, effective April 1.

Please include any editorial experience, current or prior engagement with the ACC (committees or councils to which you have applied or served) and how you would use this opportunity to engage EC members. The application deadline has been extended to March 1. Submit your application today!
