Can seeking treatment be seen as a sign of impairment?

​Rest assured that if you choose to use services provided by APWI, you are not alone. At one well-established resident and physician wellness program, 2019 data shows that 38% of eligible residents and physicians chose to take advantage of the services. To date, our utilization rate is very similar. Think about it: there's no possible way that almost 40% of providers at your institution are "impaired."

​

Everyone can benefit from therapy, even those who are already pretty well-adjusted. Some practitioners enjoy having a confidential, non-judgmental, and supportive place to let down their guard and explore their humanity. Others utilize the therapist's expertise in human behavior and relationships to improve their clinical practice, communication skills, and patient satisfaction. Still others may receive support after a critical incident or a particularly difficult patient case.

​

If you are concerned about having to report your care to the medical board, please be assured that this is almost never the case.
