About your past

This is a practice of five internal medicine providers in Woodstock. What draws you to a community of that size?

What they are checking: Whether the setting is chosen, which predicts who stays past two years.

Call is one night a week and a rotating weekend. How does that fit your life?

What they are checking: Honest fit with the call burden the posting states.

What would make you decide to stay somewhere for the long term?

What they are checking: Honest about what retention takes, which matters most in a small community practice.

What would you do

What they are checking: The posting names APP, nurse and medical assistant support.

How do you handle a patient who wants a test or a medication you do not think they need?

What they are checking: The most common difficult conversation in primary care.

How do you manage a patient of yours who is admitted to one of the hospitals you have privileges at?

What they are checking: The posting lists privileges at three hospitals, and the handoff is where continuity breaks.

How do you build a relationship with a patient who does not trust the medical system?

What they are checking: Whether their patient-centered claim has a method behind it.

About the work

Tell me about the panel you manage now and the chronic conditions you see most.

What they are checking: Breadth of chronic disease management, which is the substance of the job.

Walk me through how you would work up a patient with several problems in a twenty minute visit.

What they are checking: Prioritization inside the real constraint of a clinic schedule.

How do you use Epic so the record helps you rather than eats the visit?

What they are checking: The posting names Epic, and documentation burden is the commonest reason physicians leave.
