TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Human Resources and Employee Relations A1 - Clemency, Brian M. A1 - Bradley, Adin J. A2 - Cooney, Derek R. Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Cooney's EMS Medicine AB - Human resources (HR) deal with the hiring, training, compensating, managing, and unfortunately, at times the disciplining or terminating of employees. Human resources managers are expected to have expansive knowledge of these fields. However, all individuals in supervisory roles must have a basic understanding of the agency’s HR framework. Physician medical directors bring extensive medical knowledge to an organization, but often have minimal business training or experience. Unlike their counterparts in dentistry or chiropractic medicine, physicians are given little, if any, education in the business world. While all of these functions do not fall directly under the purview of medical direction, an astute medical director should have an understanding of their role within an organization’s human resources structure.
