The Texas Legislature created the Texas Physician Health Program (TXPHP) as an independent, confidential support program serving physicians, physician assistants, acupuncturists, surgical assistants, medical physicists, perfusionists, respiratory care practitioners, and medical radiologic technologists affected by substance use disorders, physical illnesses or impairment, and/or psychiatric conditions.
TXPHP offers education and early recognition, facilitates diagnosis and treatment referrals, and provides coordinated, individualized recovery monitoring services tailored to each participant’s needs.
Governed by its own eleven‑member board, TXPHP operates with administrative support from the Texas Medical Board (TMB). For details on its board members, see the TXPHP Governing Board Member Biographies page.
