I'm a physician in a critical care group that staffs various hospitals around the country. In September our group pulled out of a hospital in Charlotte NC secondary to personality issues, egos, compensation, etc. The medical director has called each of us personally and reminded us of the non-compete clause in our contract which precludes all of us from entering into a working relationship with this hospital. Is the non-compete clause enforcable in a hospital where our group left? most of the physicians in the group are independent contractors.
