The Alabama Physician Health Program (APHP) is a confidential clinical resource for physicians, physician assistants, residents and medical students in Alabama. The program was created in 1990 by a state law that enables the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners to provide a program for confidential early detection and treatment of clinicians with problems related to possible impairment due to alcohol, drugs, psychiatric disorders or behavior. By identifying these problems early, the public is protected and health professionals’ careers are preserved. Fifteen volunteer physicians, constituting the Alabama Physician Wellness Committee, are appointed by the Board of Medical Examiners (BME) to provide consultation for the program. The APHP has been successful and receives many referrals and inquiries.
Program Statistics
A total of 12 physicians, physician assistants, residents and medical students were referred to APHP in the fourth quarter of 2016, making a total of 65 referrals for the year. Referrals were from many sources including self-referral, hospitals, medical boards, insurance companies, families, and others. The total number of new referrals since program inception in 1990 is 2330.
