One of the unique challenges of practicing medicine is deciding when the patient-physician relationship has reached the end of the road. Coming to the conclusion that it is time to part ways with a patient is never easy for physicians and is often accompanied by conflicted feelings.

recognize common reasons for termination of the patient-physician relationship;
identify circumstances that may preclude or complicate termination of the patient-physician relationship;
develop strategies to terminate the patient-physician relationship when appropriate;
discuss ways to manage a difficult patient; and
describe the steps to terminating a patient-physician relationship due to retirement, leaving a practice, or closing a practice.
