When juggling multiple physician relations demands, I prioritize by evaluating the urgency and impact of each task. I categorize them into critical, important, and routine. Critical tasks, especially those impacting patient care or operations, are addressed first. Important tasks that build long-term relationships or meet strategic goals come next, while routine tasks are managed systematically unless they become urgent. Open communication is key—I ensure physicians understand my process and timeline, which helps manage expectations. By setting boundaries and staying organized, I can effectively meet demands while maintaining strong professional relationships.
