The new kid on the block has much to learn, and should try very hard to do so. Mastering the art of medicine is as important as mastering the science of medicine. When you join a group, you may find yourself working with people whose style of practice may be very different from your own. Before assuming your new partners are incompetent, determine why these different practice patterns exist. There may be important reasons why things are done a certain way in your new setting.
State laws vary, as do hospital policies.
Learn, before you complain. At your monthly group meetings, start a Journal Club, to allow everyone the opportunity to discuss the cutting edge of our field, and share various ways of doing things. If you feel the group practice needs improvement, volunteer to spearhead a project to deal with it. This might include writing new discharge instruction sheets, doing an inservice for the nursing staff on chest tube insertion, or working with the hospital public relations department on creating a public service announcement. Make sure you get consensus from the rest of the group, so it does not appear that you are criticizing established policies or procedures.
