Medical Staff Well- Being Committee

Residents, Clinical Fellows, and Program Directors can also contact the Medical Staff Well- Being Committee which administers a monitoring program for Medical Staff members who are suffering from substance abuse or dependence, or physical or mental health issues that impair their ability to work and function at their best. The Committee provides advice, recommendations, and assistance to individual physicians and to groups or committees who request assistance or recommendations. The committee can also be of assistance in helping residents/fellows navigate issues with the medical board in instances such as a DUI and the possible repercussions from the medical board. The committee can be reached through its chair, Katren Tyler, M.D. or through Maggie Rea, Ph.D., the Director of Medical Student and Resident Wellness.
