The NCMS has the opportunity to appoint 3 members to the NC Professionals Health Program (NCPHP) Board of Directors. Learn more about responsibilities of NCPHP Board members.

Since 1988, NCPHP has been dedicated to helping medical professionals experience a lifetime of change and return to health. NCPHP assists with recovery from substance use disorders and other conditions that could impair a clinician’s ability to safely provide care and services to their patients.

NCPHP originated as a physicians’ health committee of the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS). In 1988, it was established as a formal program of the NCMS and written into the North Carolina General Statutes. To learn more about the important work of this organization, visit the NCPHP website.

The 3 members with terms ending on December 31, 2022 are eligible for a second term, however, physicians interested in an NCPHP Board position should complete the application form and return it to Evan Simmons, [email protected] by Tuesday, September 20.
