title: A mission to help, a mission of hope.
abstract: The Physicians' Health Programs (PHP) of the Society's Educational and Scientific Trust boasts a better-than-average, 85 percent recovery rate for impaired physicians. PHP's efforts are not punitive, but instead are positive: PHP treats impaired doctors and gets them back into the community to practice medicine. The program's new medical director. Thomas Hobbs, MD, PhD, talks about the future of the program.
