Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with Jeffrey L. Fraser, a family physician who shares his experience of addiction and felony conviction, which led to his placement on the Office of the Inspector General exclusion list. We'll explore the impact of the OIG exclusion on health care providers, underserved communities, and patients, and discuss the challenges of seeking reinstatement and accessing resources for addiction recovery. We'll also examine the role of the legal system and politicians in supporting health care providers with addiction, and consider potential reforms to the OIG exclusion process.

Jeffrey L. Fraser is a family physician.

He shares his story and discusses his KevinMD article, "From addiction to exclusion: a physician's struggle for redemption."
