A timeshare is a lease arrangement whereby medical practitioners rent medical office space on a part-time basis, typically in four-hour time blocks.  The space leased is typical medical office space and the physician leases one or more exam rooms and has the right to use the common facilities such as patient waiting rooms, restrooms, physician’s office, nurses’ station and lab space.  The space may or not be equipped with medical equipment (depending upon the specialty), but the exam rooms are typically equipped with general supplies and equipment (cotton swabs, gloves, tongue depressors, blood pressure cuffs etc.).  Sometimes timeshare spaces are staffed, with a receptionist, nurse/s, and office personnel.
