Caduceus Meetings
Caduceus meetings are support group meetings composed of healthcare professionals (MDs, DVMs, veterinary technicians, Dentists, Pharmacists, Nurses, Nutritionists, etc). Attendance is free, and these meetings do not follow the typical 12 step format. Cross talk is encouraged as we navigate through tough subjects like license renewals, arrest records, interviewing for new jobs after being fired, reintroduction into the workplace after being in a treatment facility, etc. We encourage health professionals to attend Caduceus meetings, not only for their own benefit but also to encourage and support colleagues. These meetings are located in cities all throughout the state. For a listing of available caduceus meetings click on the link provided below, and then click on the Caduceus Meeting icon to access the updated Word document.
