The socialization of newly hired medical staff into a large health system.
The acquisition of private medical practices by large health care systems often results in the transition of the physician from self-employment to salaried employee. In order to be successful, new physicians must be socialized into the new environment, requiring both concrete information and cultural orientation. This Mayo Clinic study of recently hired physicians yielded information about both content and delivery mechanisms that will help in planning an integrated system of orientation experiences.
