Can anyone explain how tenure works in academic medicine? Is it true that only those who do basic science research and have their own labs will be on the tenure track? I'd always assumed that the well-respected guys/gals who've been around for years and do plenty of good clinical research, have lots of publications, etc. were tenured, but I've been told otherwise. How much does tenure really matter, anyway?
