Clinical and financial aspects of shared/part-time practice.
Shared and part-time medical practices are popular with both the medical group and the clinicians who fill these positions at Group Health Cooperative. The medical group benefits from the flexibility provided by part-time practitioners. Part-time clinicians have the opportunity to devote time to their families or second careers. There are, however, additional costs and administrative problems associated with shared and part-time practices.
