Physician Contract Glossary · Restrictive Covenants
Restricted Activities
Restricted activities define exactly which kinds of work a non-compete prohibits after you leave.
This is the scope half of a non-compete: which activities are actually off-limits. A narrow clause might bar only your specific specialty within the radius. A broad one can bar the practice of medicine in any form, telehealth into the area, or even employment by a competitor in a non-clinical role. The defined activities decide how much of your career the non-compete really touches.
Narrow the restricted activities to your specialty and to in-person practice. Broad language that captures telehealth, locums, or any medical role can leave you unable to work even outside the geographic zone.
