The Impaired Physician

Impairment in the workplace can have serious consequences - not only for the individuals who may be impaired but also for patients and other employees.  BIDMC offers services, such as the Program for House Staff Well-Being, to help our trainees during their residencies and fellowships.

You may also find support via the Massachusetts Medical Society Physician Health Services (PHS).    PHS is a non-profit entity that provides confidential consultation and support to physicians, residents and medical students facing health concerns.  You may contact PHS at 781-434-7404 or toll free at 800-322-2303.  For more information you may also visit their website at:  http://www.massmed.org/phs.
