Dear Colleagues,
Impairment is the inability to practice with reasonable skill and
safety without jeopardy to patient/client care. It can result from
substance abuse, addiction, stress, depression or other mental or medical illness, unprofessional
conduct, and other causal factors. Today's newsletter focuses on a
variety of issues related to practitioner impairment.

In some areas, particularly suicide rates, physicians have increased vulnerability, and in other areas problems may be unrecognized (depression, substance abuse, marital problems, and other stress-related concerns).
