Recognizing and Dealing With Impaired Clinicians Part 1 Recognition and Reporting
|
|
|
Medical licensing boards and clinical societies encourage (and most boards require) physicians to report colleagues reasonably suspected of not practicing safely and competently.

Good-faith reporting is generally protected from lawsuit.
