Wyoming Professional Assistance Program offers assessment, referral for treatment, reentry support, and monitoring for health care professionals in Wyoming. They currently contract with licensing boards for pharmacy, nursing, medicine (including physician assistants), and dentistry.  In the near future: veterinary medicine, psychology and others.

What about funding? The organization charges client fees - $50 per month is the standard for pharmacists.  $25 for Pharmacy Techs. Primary funding for WPAP  is from licensing boards (including pharmacy), and participating hospitals.

 Active clients include pharmacists, nurses, physicians, dentists and veterinarians.  In addition, any licensed professional is welcome to attend our Caduceus groups.
