In addition, UNM and its affiliated hospitals are drug free and alcohol free campuses. This Physician Impairment Article is adopted pursuant to UNM Graduate Medical Education’s (GME) obligation to maintain a high standard ofpatient care and safety.
B. HSOs are strongly encouraged to self-disclose impairments to their Program Directors and/or the Office of GME. No HSO will be disciplined or terminated for self-disclosing and seeking voluntary treatment. This disciplinary safe harbor does not extend to impairment or dependence discovered other than by self-disclosure, nor does it extend to discipline for conduct, behavior, actions, or omission while impaired or dependent.
C. Investigation and disposition of an HSO suspected of impairment, including, but not limited to alcohol, drug, chemical dependence, medical, or psychological impairment areoutlined in this Article and the “UNM Houseofficer’s and the University Regulation and Benefit Manual.” If the HSO is rotating at an affiliated hospital, the HSO may be additionally subject to the policy and procedures of the affiliated hospital for impaired physicians.

All Residents are expected to be rested, alert, and able to perform their essential duties with reasonable skill, efficiency, and safety to patients during work hours (either with or without a reasonable accommodation). Program faculty will determine whether a Resident is able to perform duties. A resident may be considered impaired because of the inability to practice medicine or perform the other essential functions of the job due to a physical or mental illness that cannot be remediated with reasonable accommodation, being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or for other reasons. By signing this Agreement, Resident represents to Hospital that they are not now impaired. Further, Resident agrees not to consume or be under the influence of drugs or alcohol while working or on-call for patient care delivery. At the Program Director’s sole discretion, a Resident deemed impaired by the Program Director, may be immediately dismissed from the program or options other than dismissal may be explored and offered.
