Physicians Wellness

Giving Medical Professionals Tools to Restore Their Professional & Personal Lives
Physicians are fiduciary agents that stand for trust, confidence, and responsibility with patients. With this duty, physicians have an obligation to serve others morally, ethically, and competently. The complexities of our modern society create unique stressors for these professionals that can lead to dysfunctional behavior and disruption in the workplace. When violations of professional boundaries and clinical competence occur, not only are individual patients put at risk, but the professional work environment suffers. There negative behaviors interfere with the health and mission of the profession and organization.

What is PWP?
Physicians’ Wellness Program (PWP) is designed specifically for physicians who exhibit negative stress reaction, communication problems, dysfunctional interpersonal relationships, or behaviors leading to disruptive work environments. Our goal is to evaluate the root causes of inappropriate behaviors and help professionals develop more effective coping skills and communication styles.

Program Overview
PWP offers a one-day intensive assessment designed to diagnose the nature, range, and causes of the behavioral issues, including any co-occurring medical or psychiatric disorders. Evaluation components include a comprehensive diagnostic interview, psychological testing, and interview of collateral sources.

At the end of the evaluation, the physician and referral source will receive feedback regarding the medical team’s findings, including any treatment recommendations.

Why Choose PWP?
PWP provides referral sources and participants with unique resources to help maximize behavior change, including:

1. Extensive experience in working with employers, licensing boards and professional organizations.

2. Intensive, time-limited intervention that minimizes participant life disruption while maximizing treatment options.

3. Extensive, individualized monitoring to ensure compliance and quick identification and remediation of any relapse behaviors.

4. Coordination with ISMA and other similar committees to intervene on behalf of distressed and impaired physicians.
