Whether joining an existing clinic, starting a new clinic, or redesigning a longstanding clinic, each clinician must balance a variety of priorities and navigate a unique set of obstacles, including political and systemic pressures. Learning to navigate those obstacles while maintaining the vision you have for your clinic is important for clinicians at every stage of their careers. This panel will share a variety of obstacles we have encountered in the clinical space, discuss what we found accomplishable within the constraints we each found ourselves in, and address whether or not those constraints were as fixed as we anticipated them to be. This session will also include time for participants to share obstacles faced related to their own circumstances and engage in collaborative problem-solving.
