I work in a hospital lab. On secondaries when it asks for my relationship with physicians which they are asking for info on, how do I refer to the doctors at my hospital? Colleague? Coworker? I want to infer that I closely work with these people, but I don't want to disrespect the doc by saying we are on the same level, which I feel colleague and coworker imply.

I agree that might work. Definitely not coworker or anything that makes the assumption you see them as equal academically.

I see what you're saying, but if you call them a co-worker, I think everyone will understand what you mean.

Have an in-depth DTR and see how you both feel about it
