IN 2024, MORE THAN 40 PHYSICIANS BENEFITTED FROM THE SERVICES OF PHYSICIANS SERVING PHYSICIANS AND THE PHYSICIANS WELLNESS COLLABORATIVE: OVER 30 PHYSICIANS FROM ACROSS THE STATE REGULARLY ATTEND AND ENGAGE IN MONTHLY PSP MEETINGS WHERE THEY FIND SUPPORT AND COMMUNITY FROM FELLOW PHYSICIANS LIVING WITH SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. OUR 24/7 COUNSELING SERVICES AS WELL AS OUR RESIDENT AND FELLOW PROACTIVE WELLNESS APPOINTMENTS WERE DISCONTINUED DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING. WE WERE PROUD TO PROMOTE OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS FROM 2022 WHERE WE WORKED WITH SEVERAL STAKEHOLDERS TO REMOVE A LONGSTANDING BARRIER IN MINNESOTA'S LICENSURE RENEWAL PROCESS. NAMELY, PHYSICIANS ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO REPORT MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT ARE BEING APPROPRIATELY TREATED WHEN THEY APPLY FOR OR RENEW THEIR MEDICAL LICENSES. THIS REQUIREMENT DETERRED MANY PHYISICIANS FROM SEEKING NEEDED TREATMENT FOR MENTHAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. DESPITE THE CHANGE IN 2022, CONTINUED EFFORTS WERE NEEDED TO SPREAD AWARENESS OF THE POLICY CHANGE.
