Dr. Fisher oversees psychological and psychiatric fitness for duty and violence risk assessments performed across the country through a network of 1200 psychologists and psychiatrists.

He frequently lectures on psychiatric and psychological assessment, and has developed assessment protocols used by psychologists and psychiatrists nationally.
About the Program
To protect the employer, EAP, employee and the doctor who performs a Fitness for Duty Evaluation (FFDE), it is critical that each have a well-defined role related to both the assessment itself and employee management. This sometimes does not happen though, partly because of confusion about the importance of professional divisions. Dr. Fisher will discuss ways to avoid these practices, which can invite considerable risk. These pertain to such issues as giving feedback to employees about FFDE results, disseminating copies of FFDE reports, providing treatment, monitoring treatment compliance, psychological re-evaluation before return to work, and completing insurance paperwork.
