29. “Asuccessful clinician-scientist, measured as a prominent clinician and scientist, is a difficult task. Clinically, you are competing with full-time clinicians who are protecting their practices to sustain their salaries. Scientifically, you are competing with full-time scientists who are pushing as hard as they can to protect their grant support. In this atmosphere of highly polarized needs, it is a tall order to succeed on both fronts.”
