Description of CME Course
Clinician rates of impairment from substance abuse and from psychiatric and physical disability are at least as high as the general population. As a clinician, you owe allegiance to both your colleagues and to a professional standard of ethics and behavior, and above all you owe a commitment to patients’ safety. Colleagues have both an ethical and a collegial obligation to intercede. Patient safety is paramount. Many clinician impairments can be effectively managed. In this module, we help clinicians nourish and sustain an attitude of commitment to the well-being of the colleague and that person’s patients; take prompt action; provide an accurate description of behaviors you have observed; make explicit statements of respect, personal concern and partnership; and respond non-judgmentally and non-defensively.
Diplomate Engagement
Self-assessment questions tailored to each specific module topic are required upon module completion. Multiple choice questions required; open-ended discussion questions are optional.
