Is boss over stepping boundary/micromanaging?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
In my office my boss is the Dr. and the manager. He is very particular about what I say to the patients, especially over the phone.
He has had me write lines in the past. He now wants to have a weekly meeting with me to go over what to say to people over the phone, is this normal?

How long have you been working there? What sort of role or job do you have in that company (clinic/hospital?)?

I find this to be perfectly acceptable. The business has a specific way of communicating with it's customers/patients. If you're not communicating in the way that they want you to, then it does seem appropriate to have regular meetings with you to make sure that you're staying "on message".

By 'write lines' do you mean the punishment schools use where you write a phrase over and over?

In Japan it would be strange not to be given that kind of training/instructions.

In some countries, giving out some types of medical information over the phone is simply illegal, since there is no way to verify the identity of the caller and thus protect medical confidentiality.

Depending on the laws in your area, a misstatement could result in liability on the doctor.
Having a script to go by is not unusual, as some information may need to be restricted, or not disclosed for legal, or insurance reasons.
Again, this varies. If the laws regarding medical information in your locale are NOT strict, then this is micromanaging, but still, his circus, his monkeys as they say.
He's not the boss because he's right, he's right because he's the boss.

@Mawg That question assumes the call center employee knows enough about the product to go off-script, and is fluent enough in English to be able to construct something approximating to a meaningful sentence. In my experience of dealing with call centers, neither of those assumptions is valid, so the question is hypothetical.

The doctor is usually directly responsible for the surgery/clinic/service. This extends to all patient interactions with the service including letters received and phone interactions.
As Richard U mentions this means that they may be liable for errors. Even if they aren't directly liable, doctors are trained to take pride in their patient care and to be highly concious of soft aspects of patient care such as environment and communication. They are also highly trained in ethics.
Putting this all together gives you someone with very high standards/expectations and who probably feel that the entire service is reflective of them personally. Hence, if you make even a small error they are likely to feel that it reflects poorly on them. This is kind of the point of this part of their training... it encourages them to fix any and all problems.

@Mawg That question assumes the call center employee knows enough about the product to go off-script, and is fluent enough in English to be able to construct something approximating to a meaningful sentence. In my experience of dealing with call centers, neither of those assumptions is valid, so the question is hypothetical.

@Mawg the ones I had any professional contact with never required writing lines. They simply recorded calls on the server as audio files for future review.

@Mawg That question assumes the call center employee knows enough about the product to go off-script, and is fluent enough in English to be able to construct something approximating to a meaningful sentence. In my experience of dealing with call centers, neither of those assumptions is valid, so the question is hypothetical.

I find this to be perfectly acceptable. The business has a specific way of communicating with it's customers/patients. If you're not communicating in the way that they want you to, then it does seem appropriate to have regular meetings with you to make sure that you're staying "on message".

In some countries, giving out some types of medical information over the phone is simply illegal, since there is no way to verify the identity of the caller and thus protect medical confidentiality.
