Reported by the program

The program describes the following on its official information, reviewed on July 29, 2026.

Who it serves
PRN describes itself as a legislatively enacted, private nonprofit organization and one of the two programs designated as Florida's Impaired Practitioners Programs. It serves a wide range of licensed health professionals, from physicians and osteopathic physicians to dentists, pharmacists, psychologists, therapists, and students in those fields.
How it works
The program says it's an alternative to the state's disciplinary process: many practitioners take part in PRN voluntarily rather than being reported to the Department of Health or the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Its stated mission is to protect the public while supporting the health and integrity of Florida's professionals.
Where it sits
PRN is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and it says the Florida Board of Medicine and other professional licensing boards contract for its services.

shrinkiatry context

Florida's PRN is one of the older and larger professional health programs in the country, and it's the state's structured, confidential alternative to discipline for a clinician struggling with substance use or a mental health condition. For the Atlas, it's Florida's entry in the physician and clinician mental health category, alongside Maine's monitoring-based program and Nebraska's coaching-based one. Together they show three states solving the same problem, keeping clinicians well and in practice, through somewhat different structures.
