Before reaching out to a new colleague for collaboration, take some time to understand their work. 1. Start by introducing yourself warmly and showing genuine interest in what they do. 2. Ask thoughtful questions and really listen to their responses. 3. Share how your skills align with theirs and how you can contribute to a potential project. 4. Afterward, follow up with a thank-you or a clear plan. Being professional, considerate, and consistent will help build a strong, collaborative relationship.

It’s important to get over your agenda and focus on building a relationship. Be authentic and genuinely listen to the physician as the individual person they are. Be available and willing to take the time to get to know them, being courteous and respectful of their title and the hard work and knowledge earned with it and open to the perspective they bring to the relationship and the work.

Be honest, be confident and communicate clearly. 1. Integrity is the cruces of any relation 2. Confidence and body language while communicating holds a lot of weightage. 3. Inability to express and communicate can be a certain barrier. One has to cross the barrier to be able to build that strong connection.

1. Be open, honest, and transparent. 2. Actively listen. 3. Show respect. Take time to get to know where they are coming from and what they need.

Seja verdade e com respeito mostre o horizonte que muitas vezes somente você enxergará. Aceite as contra lideranças com humildade, algumas vezes estas lhe mostraram pontos cegos. Sobretudo se mantenha empático e se coloque sob as perspectivas de todas as pessoas em suas questões. Mantenha um ambiente de transparência e confiança para a realização de ideias, soluções. Incentive e elogie a auto responsabilidade. Acredite no ser humano mas aceite que algumas pessoas irão naturalmente se afastar de todo o grupo por recalques, resistência ou incompatibilidade com o ambiente e grupo que se forma. Em pouco tempo, mantendo a regularidade um grande time se forma e as entregas virão.

Building a collaborative relationship with a new physician starts with open communication and mutual respect. Be proactive by sharing your health history, concerns, and goals clearly. Ask questions and seek clarification to show engagement in your care. Listen actively to their recommendations and express appreciation for their expertise. Establish trust by following through on treatment plans and providing feedback on what works or doesn’t. Scheduling regular follow-ups helps maintain continuity and strengthens rapport. A positive, respectful approach fosters collaboration and ensures better, more personalized care.

This question is not clear! Is the new physician my doctor, new to me? Is the new physician a new colleague? Is he/she newly a newly qualified doctor? Each of those situations requires a different answer. Recently my husband and I met a GP new to us. We prefer complementary therapies. He wanted my husband, who has dementia, on medication that I don't believe he needs. I was all ready to argue my point strongly, showing that I know the research. However, I walked into his office, hand outstretched to shake his saying, 'Good morning, so you're young Dr...... that I've been hearing so much about.' He was completely disarmed! We had a delightful conversation and came to the agreement that my husband does, indeed, need no medication.

If your asking about working with a physician, here are my tips: 1. Listen 2. Prep, do your homework about their background & speciality 3. Approach conversations, always patient focused 4. Be patient, the best relationships are honest ones that are built over time 5. Ask about their interests, goals for their career 6. Understand the differ challenges for doctors, as each type of physician environment is different (from private practice physician owned & ran to private equity owned/ran, scientific, employed doctors and the difference between a community hospital or academic medical center. 7. Ask about their challenges, how you can help & mean it 8. Show a passion for your work and quality care 9. Be consistent & available

Physicians are people first. If you show genuine interest in them and their families, and recognize their need for mastery, purpose and autonomy (see Dan Pink’s Drive) vs treat them like the newest wRvU generators most physicians will welcome collaboration
