Partnership Structure

• Partners will rarely be in same clinic at the same time (alternate ACC – VA)
• Exceptions: Tuesday & Friday Womens Health; Thursday Med Peds  
• Partners are within the same training year to facilitate continuity when possible
• In assigning partners, overlapping ICU/NF times avoided as much as possible, but not always
• Each Partnership has a designated Attending
• Attending assignments are by half-day
• Ratio 1 Attending: 8 Partnerships maximum
• Dr. Bennett Lee (Ambulatory APD) serves as back-up attending for all partnerships

Expectations of Partners

• Follow-up on labs, films, diagnostic testing, specialty appointments, etc
• See partners’ patients in frozen and overbook spots as needed
• Define & document goals, expectations, and procedures for follow-up and communication about patient care
• Communicate with partner after each clinic day re: flagged follow-up
• Decide with partner what constitutes "flagged" and their preferred method of communication
• Use your Partnership Attending for patient care questions and follow-up support
• Anticipate scheduling conflicts that hinder patient follow-up and make a plan to address this, using Attending support when absolutely necessary

Expectations of Partnership Attending

• Be identifiable, available to Partners
• Provide follow-up (on urgent matters) during those ½ blocks identified by Partners as scheduling challenges
• Provide follow-up on a case-by-case basis through open communication with Partners
• Provide guidance on patient care
• Attending is NOT responsible for Partners' follow-up if the pair is lagging on their chart work
