Course overview

This educational activity is credited for 2 hours at completion of the activity. Impairment in the workplace is a common problem in healthcare and it is estimated that 10% of healthcare providers will experience impairment during their career. However, only two out of three healthcare providers will be reported for impairment. This happens for several reasons and poses significant risks to the healthcare provider, patients that they care for, and the institution that they work for. To reduce the risks associated with alcohol and substance use, the healthcare provider must be able to identify it, recognize the symptoms, have knowledge of common laws, know how to report the impairment, and understand the various evaluations and treatments.
