Medical professionals have complex responsibilities that require them to be healthy. The potential for impairment of practice may result from addictive, psychiatric or medical disorders including the consequences of advancing age. Other factors, such as regulatory or financial stressors, may contribute. No one is immune from the dangers of alcohol or drug use, which might impair one’s ability to practice. Medical professionals are subject to high degrees of stress. The Committee on Medical Professionals Health is here to help the following medical professionals: MD’s, DO’s, Dentists, Physician Assistants, Dental Hygenists, Denturists and Pharmacists.

The Medical Professionals Health Program is conducted by the Maine Medical Association under protocols developed with the Maine Board of Licensure in Medicine, the Maine Board of Osteopathic Licensure, the Maine Board of Dental Examiners, and the Maine Board of Pharmacy.
