Abstract

Job sharing is a promising way of organizing work : it allows physicians wishing to work part-time to access jobs that are usually inaccessible to them, while offering hospitals the possibility to recruit or retain qualified physicians to ensure succession planning. This article describes the advantages and the main challenges of jobsharing in a medical department. It provides concrete guidance to physicians wishing to practice it, to contribute to its dissemination. Jobsharing it is a way of organizing work that is practicable and safe in hospitals, provided that partners have compatible values and vision, respect therapeutic attitudes taken by the partner and optimally coordinate their work.
