Medical student illness and impairment: a vignette-based survey study involving 955 students at 9 medical schools.
Compr Psychiatry. 2005 May-Jun; (3): 229-37
Physician impairment is defined by the presence of a physical, mental, or substance-related disorder that interferes with the ability to practice medicine competently and safely. The seeds of impairment may be sown early in adulthood, and medical students experience health issues that may receive insufficient attention in the context of a rigorous training period. Few empirical studies have examined the attitudes of medical students toward recognizing and acting upon signs of potentially impairing illnesses in peers.
