The health professionals services program. An alternative for physicians with psychiatric disorders.
By removing the obstacles of social stigma and board sanction, HPSP offers physicians a way to fulfill their reporting obligations and get confidential help for a psychiatric disorder, chemical abuse, or a medical condition. Physicians who are willing to document how they manage their illness can enroll in HPSP for monitoring without board involvement. Physicians are encouraged to learn more about HPSP--for themselves, colleagues, or any health professional licensed in Minnesota--by calling 651/643-2120 or visiting our Web site at www.hpsp.state.mn.us.
