Support for Physicians in Training

Physicians, residents and medical students are feeling the strain of working in a changing health care world. Often the early signs of mental illess and addiction are manifested at work as altered behaviour: irritability, withdrawal and declining performance.

If you notice these things happening to a physician, resident of medical student, you can reach out and take supportive action, but how? The answer is clear: call the Physician Health Program of British Columbia. We'll discuss the situation with you, and together plan an approach that meets your needs and your colleague's.

The Physician Health Program strives to provide advocacy and support for physicians, including those in training and their families, who are experiencing problems related to personal and family emotional health issues, the inappropriate use of alcohol and/or drugs or coping with physical illness.
