How does the Family Physician make an effective referral? How does the Family Physician create and foster beneficial relationships with subspecialty colleagues in the medical community? How do we negotiate with our patients regarding consultations? What is the role of office staff to facilitate referrals? How have these issues changed over the years? In this month's podcast, Drs White and Beatty draw on their experiences in practice to share their perspectives on this critical yet often overlooked topic.
You will hear about such forgotten historical oddities as the "doctor's lounge", "physician-to-physician conversations," and the "fax machine" - and how family Physicians practicing today might draw lessons from the best practices of yesteryears, and develop strategies relevant to today's environment. Sit back, drive, or better yet, walk, as you listen and learn. We welcome your own pearls and feedback at thefamilydoctorpodcast@gmail.com. Thank you!
