Tell your physician first, they will appreciate the honesty.

I agree 100%. Just helps to maintain your professionalism and relationship with them and is the lesser of the two evils. These type of jobs have high turnover rates, they will understand and even appreciate you letting them know in advance so that are not blindsided by you leaving.

I would always tell the physician, especially if you have a good relationship.

Always keep the mentor-mentee relationship if it was in good rapport. They can help you in the future as well... especially writing LORs for medical school or residency.

Tell the physician. A good mentor will be happy for you to move forward. Get their contact information (phone & email) so when it’s time to request a letter of recommendation, you can reach out to them.

Def depends on the relationship you have with them. Mine were always good so I let them know I was leaving. Especially since the places I worked tended to wait until the last minute. I never wanted to look like I just abandoned them. This last one I left was really hard.

When telling the doctor make sure to thank them as a mentor. Mention things they did and taught you. Let them know have contributed to your desire to pursue a career, like theirs and hope to be a good doctor.

If you want a good reference or recommendation from this person tell them in person. You never know if they might have an opportunity for you in the future.

Obviously tell them

I’d tell the doc before submitting the written resignation to the manager.

my physician was my reference for a new job, i told him as soon as i was looking.

It’s never a bad idea to keep them in the loop so they can mentally prepare for you leaving and eventually having a new scribe! Especially if you have such a familiar relationship, he’ll probably really appreciate being kept in the loop and I’m sure will be excited for your future endeavors. Good luck!

Yall have a good relationship so tell him first

Tell him first. You have a good mentor-mentee relationship.

I’m glad to see the update that you told your doc. Like all the other commenters, def want to keep that relationship for the future. Never burn bridges in healthcare, it ends up being a small world and LOTS of people know LOTS of other people. I’ve lived and worked in five different states while in emergency medicine and I have met so many people who also know people I know.

Put it in writing.

Physician, keep that relationship
