An important aspect of primary care is collaboration with specialists. Knowing when referrals are necessary and avoiding unnecessary referrals can take years to get right. In this week’s introduction lecture, I shared a couple stories about necessary and unnecessary referrals that I’ve seen recently. Some of you may have personal or professional examples we can learn from as well. Helping to think through some of these situations now can help when you encounter similar scenarios in clinical practice.
