Addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease that can be related to use of both licit and illicit substances. It has a significant impact and associated costs affecting professional livelihood, workplace productivity, healthcare, and the legal system. Physicians, medical trainees, and other healthcare professionals are as likely as the general public to have substance use disorders. However, current information on substance use and related disorders affecting US healthcare professionals and trainees is limited, and for various reasons often goes unrecognized and unreported for a long time before a medical or legal mishap occurs.
