IMHO, the profession has the responsibility for teach this sort of mundane
administrative bureaucracy during the intern period prior to licensing. If
the schools devoted more time to thoughtful design, the profesion would be

contract terminology and sequencing who are being shortchanged--that sort
of stuff can be handled by any office manager...
