Or. Admin. Code § 847-065-0010

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 11, November 1, 2024

Section 847-065-0010 - Purpose, Intent and Scope

The Oregon Medical Board recognizes that substance use disorders and/or mental health disorders are potentially progressive, chronic diseases. The Board believes that physicians, podiatric physicians, physician associates, and acupuncturists who develop these diseases can, with appropriate treatment, be assisted with recovery and return to the practice of medicine, podiatry, or acupuncture. It is the intent of the Board that a licensee with a substance use disorder and/or mental health disorder may have the opportunity to enter the Health Professionals' Services Program (HPSP). Participation in the HPSP does not shield a licensee from possible disciplinary action.
