We present sociodemographic and career characteristics for graduates from a GH training program in a highly resourced academic medical center in the United States. Mentorship, institutional support, funding, ability to balance GH with non-GH work, and time spent domestically or abroad are key factors associated with successful careers in GH. If institutional funding is allocated to strengthen these aspects of GH training, we anticipate more sustained GH career development.
