In case you missed it, here's a link to an article about the new Texas Physician Health Program: http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/news/Fall10/Medical_Board_Bulletin_Fall_10.pdf#Impaired
In short, it's a nondisciplinary and confidential program designed to encourage health professionals to seek early assistance with drug or alcohol-related problems or mental or physical conditions that present a potentially dangerous
limitation or inability to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety.
It is available to physicians, physician assistants and other health professionals licensed by the Texas Medical Board or those who have applied for Texas licenses.
