Becoming a physician is a not just a career choice, it is “a calling” and a lifelong commitment. Unfortunately, for many physicians, the professional rewards of status, security, and meaningful work are threatened by an avalanche of responsibility and stress characterizing today’s practice environment and further contributing to an escalating epidemic of physician stress and burnout.

That means physicians must understand the requirements for the Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) with patients that have a direct treatment relationship with a patient.
