Physicians Managed Upward in Clinical Settings for Medscape

MEDSCAPE Physicians Who Have Managed Upward I’m writing a piece for Medscape’s MedLife section about physicians who’ve successfully “managed upward”—in other words, junior or early-career doctors who took initiative in ways that improved their working relationships with senior colleagues or supervisors, particularly in clinical or hospital settings. I’m looking to speak with: - Younger doctors (residents, fellows, or early-career attendings) who’ve found smart, medically grounded ways to collaborate more effectively with senior physicians—whether that involved diplomatically introducing updated guidelines, helping improve team communication during rounds, or streamlining clinical processes that made life easier for everyone. - Managers/senior physicians who’ve been positively impacted by a junior colleague doing something unique or thoughtful to “manage up.” All examples should be specific to medical practice, not general workplace dynamics. If you or someone you know has a great story to share, I’d love to connect. Please send any leads to [email redacted]
