Change is Coming
October 19th, 2009 by Jon Porter | Print
Very soon the Texas Medical Board is going to turn over doctors and Physician Assistants in recovery over to a new State wide Physician Health Program (PHP). The PHP is indirectly associated with the Board. The Board president names the Board of Governors who are like the Board members for the PHP. The Board of Governors will hire the Executive Director and formulate the rules for the PHP. The PHP must report to the Board at each Board meeting. So, there will be some oversight and influence from the Board, but the PHP will be findings its own way in helping and monitoring physicians and PA in recovery.
As we learn more, we will have more positing on this exciting change.
