Abstract

The example of the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine's Impaired Professional Program (IPP) shows that the function of licensing boards with respect to impaired physicians can be significantly expanded in a positive direction. Although most of the physicians in the IPP are impaired by drugs or alcohol, the program is open to physicians suffering from other conditions, such as psychiatric or medical illness, that may interfere with their ability to practice medicine. This article discusses the Impaired Professional Program of the State Board of Medicine. For physicians in Pennsylvania this means participation in the Physicians' Health Programs of the Educational and Scientific Trust of the Pennsylvania Medical Society.

摘要

宾夕法尼亚州医学委员会受损专业人员项目（IPP）的例子表明，执照颁发委员会在处理受损医生问题方面的职能可以朝着积极的方向大幅扩展。虽然IPP中的大多数医生因药物或酒精问题而受损，但该项目也向患有其他疾病（如精神疾病或身体疾病）且可能影响其行医能力的医生开放。本文讨论了州医学委员会的受损专业人员项目。对于宾夕法尼亚州的医生来说，这意味着要参与宾夕法尼亚医学协会教育与科学信托基金的医生健康项目。
