Well-Being Committee Review Process

• Review information from referral sources (self-referrals, colleague referrals, Supervisor/Medical Board referrals) that concerns the well-being of physicians and physicians-in-training.

• Meet with the individual whom the Committee is attempting to help.

• Determine if a problem exists and, if so, the nature of the problem.

• Develop a plan with the physician or physician-in-training to address the problem. This plan may include a number of treatment options.

• Formalize that plan into a contract between the Committee and the individual.

• Monitor the treatment progress of the individual.

• If the individual either refuses to follow the recommended plan or fails to comply with its terms, transmit that information to the Chief of Staff.
