Abstract
The 1996 Physician Health Research Conference was the first conference to focus exclusively on research issues and methods for impaired physicians. The conference was initiated by James Shore, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and superintendent of the Colorado Psychiatric Hospital, and Stephen Dilts, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of the Colorado Physician Health Program and clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Forty participants represented a wide range of national organizations. The conference was supported by contributions from the American Medical Association, American Psychiatric Association, Colorado Physician Health Program, Colorado Physician Insurance Program, and the Department of Psychiatry and Colorado Psychiatric Hospital at the Health Sciences Center. In addition, the conference was cosponsored by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry, the American Society of Addiction Medicine, and the Federation of State Physician Health Programs. This paper summarizes the formal presentations of the conference.
