What Dermatology Residents Need to Know About Joining Group Practices
Abstract
Changing practices is most common during the first year(s) after completing dermatology residency. One potential reason is a poor fit between the provider and the practice; another is a discrepancy between the provider's expectations vs the reality of the practice. A key challenge that dermatology residents face when assessing practices to join after residency is that they do not have experience working in a practice setting and thus often do not know the right questions to ask. This article provides a framework to assist in this process, along with a tool that can be used to organize the information gathering when considering joining a group practice.
