Dr. Allan Brett is a Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado. Dr. Brett earned his MD at the University of Pennsylvania and did his residency in internal medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. He has served on faculty at Georgetown University, Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard University, and the University of South Carolina where he served as the director of the division of general medicine. Dr. Brett has also been writing for the NEJM Journal Watch since 1988 and has served as its editor-in-chief since 1994. Today, Dr. Brett and I discuss his career in academics, his process for sifting through an impossible number of clinical publications, and his life-long strategy for staying engaged and excited in a career that has become all too prone to burnout.
