Hi,
Yesterday I received news that stunned me. I was told in confidence that during a staff meeting there was discussion about possibly not renewing my contract at the end of the year. A little background. I am a PGY 3, in a small community based program. I've done well academically (ABSITE scores well above reproach) and , I thought, I was doing fine in my patient care activities.
The reasons listed for my possible dismissal included "not taking things seriously", "dumping work on other residents", and "not taking ownership of my patients."
I can tell you now that this is not true. I get along well with my fellow residents, I work my butt off everyday...but there is this preception of me in the department that looks like it's threatening my standing.
ANyway, any advice from anyone whose found themselves in similar situations or has seen something like this happen. To be honest, I really didn't think anything like this could happen to me (I apologize for hte cliche), but I'm thinking, should I be talking to a lawyer?????
Thanks
Kelly
