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.
