TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Consultation-liaison case conference: assessment and management of a physician with thoughts of suicide JO - Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry A1 - Schimpf, Maria Gonsalves A1 - Gershengoren, Liliya A1 - Moschenross, Darcy A1 - Winston, Helena A1 - Simpson, Scott A. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - We present the case of a physician who engages with a peer response team and discloses suicidal ideation-while himself seeing patients in the hospital. Top experts in consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry provide guidance for this clinical case based on their experience and a review of the available literature. Key teaching topics include a general approach to suicide risk assessment; peer response programs for healthcare workers; and ethical and clinical considerations in treating colleagues. C-L psychiatrists should be familiar with suicide risk management, take a pro-active approach to addressing modifiable risk factors, and keep in mind unique challenges of treating colleagues referred for care.
