Re: Tennessee law makes it difficult for doctors to switch practices From: Atkinson, Samuel M (ATKINSONS@ecu.edu) Tue Jul 17 14:07:46 2007 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Dean Huffman .: "Wealthy Plaintiff Gets Calif.

Kaplan: "Re: EMF" In reply to: GIN11153@aol.com: "Tennessee law makes it difficult for doctors to switch practices" The AMA classifies these restrictions as unethical and restricting a patient access to their physician. I also believe that if anyone wished to go to the expense of going to Federal court the law would be declared unconstitutional. But one would have to go all the way up the state court ladder first, then to Federal courts and their appeals system to some degree in order to win, a very expensive process. One would come out cheaper to just pay the buy out. I believe all of these no compete e clauses have to have some clause for financial recovery of "reasonable" costs of the employer to be enforceable. sAm ________________________________ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of -- ________________________________ GIN11153@aol.com Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2007 4:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Tennessee law makes it difficult for doctors to switch practices Click here to find out more! <http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v8/358d/0/0/%2a/o;44306;0-0;0;1430451 1;31-1/1;0/0/0;;~sscs=%3f> This sounds like it should be illegal-isn't it restriction of trade??: ________________________________ Tennessee law makes it difficult for doctors to switch practices ________________________________ <http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2007707110413> It's about to become harder for some medical professionals in Tennessee to jump ship. Starting Jan. 1, doctors in certain specialties who leave group practices or clinics for another employer in the same area can be barred from practicing medicine for up to two years.

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.
