Ramirez FSPHP Annual Meeting - "Recharge Station!"December 5, 2019
As Director of the WA State PHP, the FSPHP was instrumental in providing the collective wisdom of multiple members and the wise counsel of its "elder statesmen" whose institutional memory was most valuable. In addition to providing current scientific data from our field of endeavor, the FSPHP annual meeting was the perfect venue to rekindle past and forge new relationships. It was my yearly "recharge station!" Lynn Hankes, MD Honored & Privileged to be a MemberDecember 4, 2019 P. Bradley Hall, MD The Benefits of FSPHP from The Colorado Physician Health ProgramFebruary 8, 2016
The Federation of State Physician Health Programs (FSPHP) has not only been a catalyst in increasing the presence and the face of physician health, but has been pivotal in the Colorado Physician Health Programs’ position in the sector. CPHP recognizes many benefits of the umbrella organization; best practice discussions on broader administrative (nonprofit) issues, quality improvement initiatives and inspiration, and unique perspectives on an industry that does not really “fit” into traditional forms. CPHP has been fortunate to be an active participant within FSPHP since the organization’s founding in 1990.
In the recent past, FSPHP has become aware that the field of physician health is gaining interest from unexpected communities. This trend has led to what CPHP has deemed of the most essential aspects of the organization; a deliberate quality improvement emphasis. Each member physician health program (PHP) has wholeheartedly endeavored to become the best program they possibly can, and improve not only their clinical expertise in the field of physician health, but their presence in their communities, their impact on physicians (and often other healthcare professionals) and their image across all facets. CPHP has relied upon the quality improvement and best practice conversations among FSPHP participants and leaders to guide our improvement and continual growth. More than the answers offered by this organization, it’s the questions posed and the honest dialogue across the FSPHP that makes us be assured we are providing the best care for CPHP clients. Sarah Early, PsyD FSPHP Experience & DevotionNovember 4, 2015
Upon arrival to my first FSPHP meeting in 2005, I was warmly welcomed as a “new comer” to the field of physician health and PHPs. At the time the state PHP where I worked was at a grassroots level of developing a physician’s health program supported by all of organized medicine including the licensure boards.
Utilization of the FSPHP Guidelines, experience and assistance of many program directors and the leadership of the FSPHP we began the arduous process of legislative development, bylaws and ultimate incorporation into a non-profit 501(c)(3) in August 2007. We were also able to pass legislation in 2010 providing partial funding of the PHP. We took our first participant in November 2007 and grew 1000+% by November of 2012. Without the leadership of the FSPHP, devoted and experienced passionate membership of the state members and all the other associate, international and honorary members, the PHP would not be where it is today.
