OAR 847-065-0005
Licensees with Mental Illness Treated in Hospital Exceeding 25 Consecutive Days

A licensee’s participation in the Health Professionals’ Services Program (HPSP), to include inpatient evaluations or treatment in a treatment facility that exceeds 25 consecutive days, does not require an automatic suspension of a licensee, if the licensee is in compliance with their HPSP agreement and does not practice medicine during a period of impairment. If the HPSP makes a determination that the licensee has a mental illness that affects the ability of the licensee to safely practice medicine, the HPSP will ask the licensee to immediately withdraw from practice. If the licensee declines, the HPSP will immediately report to the Board that the licensee has a mental illness that affects the ability of the licensee to safely practice, and with this report provide a copy of the evaluation upon which this determination is based.
