What Is a Professional Health Program (PHP) Evaluation?
A Professional Health Program evaluation is a board-required clinical assessment used by licensing boards, monitoring programs, employers, and Health Professionals Services Programs to determine whether a professional is experiencing:
- Substance use disorder
- Mental health impairment
- Dual diagnosis
- Stress-related or situational impairment
- Behavioral or psychological risk
- Functional limitations affecting safe practice
PHP evaluations help boards make informed decisions regarding licensure, monitoring, treatment referrals, and return-to-practice conditions.
