Uncovering the Prevalence of Mental Health and SUD Among Physicians

Clinician's Roundtable

Host: Michael Greenberg, MD
Guest: Chris Bundy, MD, MPH, FASAM
Along with the general population, physicians are vulnerable to substance use disorder (SUD) with rates as high as 10 to 14 percent. And with demanding careers, stress and burnout can often exacerbate SUD. Tune into part one of this discussion with Dr. Michael Greenberg as he takes a deep dive into the prevalence of SUD and use characteristics among physicians with Dr. Chris Bundy, Executive Medical Director of the Washington Physicians Health Program and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
