The Washington Physician Health Program
The Washington Physician Health Program (WPHP) provides early intervention, assessment, treatment referral, and post-treatment monitoring for health professionals, including PAs, who may not be able to practice safely due to an impairing or potentially impairing health condition. In some cases, support and referral are all that are needed to put concerns to rest. In others, a more serious illness is identified that requires further diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and monitoring to support sustained illness remission, safe practice, and WPHP advocacy efforts on behalf of the participant.
