Welcoming Part-Time Consulting & Teaching Veterinarians to CALAM
As part of our 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, CALAM is excited to launch a new initiative to welcome part-time consulting veterinarians and teaching veterinarians into our community. As part of this initiative, new part-time consulting and teaching veterinarians, as well as other new to CALAM veterinarians,  would be offered a free trial membership for the calendar year. We extend our gratitude to Craig Bihun for initiating this effort, which aims to expand our network, providing valuable resources, professional support, and strengthened representation.

How You Can Help
Current members can support this initiative by:

• Participating in the Knowledge Sharing Program (contact membership@calam-acmal.org with your details and practice areas).
• Providing consulting contract templates to support new members.

We encourage members to share this opportunity during CCAC assessments and through professional networks.
