Partnerships are viewed as the best opportunities provided for certain doctors and professionals to experience and see the applied knowledge of another specialist in addressing certain situations that cannot be encountered as easy especially if the individual has just gained his degree and pursues improving his practice. Despite of such endowment to the younger generation of professionals, there are certain challenges that make the partnership an unpredictable moment. Dr. Mark Antman has been aware of such circumstances that he created a study, along with other peers, to confirm what these trials are, and how both parties can overcome it. While diversity, challenges in meeting schedules, money concerns, and organizational setup may test the binding force of partnerships, there have been noted solutions on how to conquer each argument with considerable effort.

While some people may think that the approach to such solutions may be scientific or process oriented, it may not be the case since a matter of personal intervention, decision, and toleration of certain limiting factors can address the issue. Dr. Mark Antman has observed that the results of a better partnership comes only when flexibility has been exercised on both ends to meet halfway, compromise, and solve particular needs on money, schedules, and characteristics. Another way of addressing this problem is consistently having communication between concerned individuals to provide instruction and settling on issues, and respect to the achievements and preferences of the senior professional, which requires tolerance and patience in the part of the novice or apprentice. In short, personal qualities are needed to solve the disparity in the situation.
