In SD, clinician non-competes are generally enforceable IF "reasonable" in geographic scope, duration, and protected interest. Courts routinely narrow overbroad clauses — push to shrink the radius/duration and add carve-outs. Educational summary, not legal advice — confirm with a licensed attorney. Review a contract
