NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION PROVISIONS. It is important for the physician to know when any type of restrictive covenant (such as a non-compete and/or non- solicitation provision) will apply. It may not be appropriate for a non-compete to apply in all circumstances (for example, if the physician terminates due to the employer’s uncured breach). Non-compete provisions should be specific in terms of time and geography. For example, a non-compete that states: “the physician shall not practice within 10 miles of Employer’s office at ABC address for a term of two years” is clear with respect to both time and geography.

There are many issues addressed in physician employment agreements, and the issues discussed in this article will most likely appear in some form in most.
