Paint an honest picture during recruitment.

While physicians leave a medical group for a variety of reasons, a key to preventing physician dissatisfaction is honest communication during the interview process. Physicians who enter groups with a full awareness of compensation, benefits, and the physician situation are less likely to have regrets, challenge administration, or leave the group. Administrators play an important role in the recruitment process as they are most able to present a realistic picture of the practice, and its strengths and weaknesses.
