Practical internships: Pilot project seeks mentoring doctors and returners

Colleagues who have ceased to practice due to a life crisis can suffer feelings of insecurity before returning to their own practice. A practical internship with a mentoring doctor can help them to regain confidence and self-assurance for their responsible work. During an internship lasting several weeks, the doctor works under the supervision of his/her mentor, regaining confidence in his/her ability and identifying any gaps in his/her medical, social and practical skills.
 

Given the growing scarcity of basic service providers, the advantages of this type of cooperation for mentoring doctors are the possibility of finding a colleague to act as their locum or take over their practice, and of promoting the quality and credentials of the practice. Ideally, mentors have experience as teaching doctors and are experienced, established doctors who are familiar with ReMed's services.
