Hi, my name is Sarah Stark, and I’m an attorney here at Chelle Law in Scottsdale Arizona. Our firm regularly provides representation to physicians and physician assistants before the Arizona medical board and the Arizona regulatory board of physician assistants. I wanted to talk briefly about the physician health program, which is offered to both physicians and physician assistants. The boards have the authority under Arizona law to allow licensees to undergo certain evaluations for mental health and substance abuse. Upon determining that a physician may suffer from substance abuse issues or psychological, psychiatric, or behavioral health issues, the board may determine that the professional or licensee is eligible for admission to the physician health program or the PHP.
