Texas Physician Health Program
Medical professionals suffering from substance use disorders, mental disorders, or certain other medical issues could possibly face a number of serious consequences, such as losing their license and the ability to work in the medical field. However, the Texas Medical Board has partnered with the Texas Physician Health Program to offer eligible medical professionals the opportunity to participate in a rehabilitation program without suffering punitive measures from the Texas Medical Board.
At the Leichter Law Firm, our Austin medical license defense attorneys may be able to help you if you are worried about losing your license due to mental or substance use problems. Whether you need assistance to file and process the appropriate documents or with the preparation of your case for the medical board, we can bring our knowledge and experience to your aid. Contact us at 512-495-9995.
Eligible Participants
There are a number of medical professionals that are able to utilize the Texas Physician Health Program, including:
- Physicians
- Physician Assistants
- Surgical Assistants

Others, who are ineligible to participate in the Texas Physician Health Program, are:
