Supporting Physician Health: Identifying and Addressing Impairment

Evaluation and Credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medchat86

Target Audience
This activity is targeted toward primary care physicians and advanced providers.

Statement of Need
This podcast will highlight how providers can recognize their impairment or a colleague. Additionally, the responsibility of providers will be addressed once impairment is suspected. A study published in PubMed, indicated that a physician's rate of substance use disorder is slightly higher than the general population. As a result of long hours, high responsibility and emotional stress physicians face an increased risk for burnout, depression and substance use. Even though there is the risk of patient safety, physicians delay seeking help due to the stigma or fee of professional consequences.

Objectives

• Discuss the common causes, symptoms and factors that contribute to physician impairment.
• Describe the impact of impairment on patient safety and professional responsibility.
• Identify appropriate intervention strategies and available support systems.
