Doctors and
Managers come often from different Social and Educational backgrounds. They rarely
socialise. Doctors have a long training in a University environment, their clinical experience may be confined to a very small area.They have a particular medical jargon They are Specialists. Managers, after a first degree learn, through working in different areas of health care and are promoted on merit. Further qualifications come less from Universities and more from Institutes-Accounting,Administration etc. They are generalists. Managers work mainly a 9-5pm day-often much more………doctors are often on call at night and weekends and work long hours in theatre, clinic or ward. They are paid differently. Managers-salaries, bonuses, share options,performance related pay. Doctors-salaries, fees,retainers. Managers have less job security-they often take the blame and lose their job while to further their careers they often need to move on regularly after 2-3 years in a post. Doctors,once appointed in a career post, may stay in the same job for many years. They have considerable job security. Doctors who become Managers move into a very different world-Managers do not become Doctors! |
