Just curious how many out there would truly ask >their partners to stay and continue to manage the patient... > Caitlin: I have the impression that your partner is senior to you in the practice, and perhaps your employer (meaning that you've not yet bought in and/or become a partner). I also suspect that you are out of residency recently. As Efrain said, a partnership is a marriage, and you need to discuss things. Ultimately, what will be most important for your marriage is not how you handle a given clinical situation (if both ways are reasonable), but how you communicated among the docs and how you are a "united front" to the shared (obstetric) patients most of the time. For instance, if you have 4 docs in a group, and one does his scheduled sections at 38 weeks, and the others at 39, the patients will learn of this discrepancy and exploit it--which will make intragroup relationships strained. So, FWIW, you should sit down with your partner for a minute, and discuss this case clinically, calmly, and non-confrontationally. For all you know, he will learn things that you know that he doesn't, and he may well be appreciative of the things a "newby" brings to the practice. I have been in practice since 1986, and in a group now for 4 years. Our new partner (an employee, FWIW) learns lots from me about private practice management in the real world; I often ask her how they did things in her residency, and have learned, and will continue to learn from her more recent training. It is a two-way street. Garry

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
