2023 ACLAM’s Original “Trailblazers in Veterinary Medicine" Educational Videos
Join the 61st American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine (ACLAM) President, Dr. Donna Matthews Jarrell, as she interviews four (4) of ACLAM’s very own Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) trailblazers about their paths to becoming a veterinarian and achieving a veterinary specialty board certification. They also offer advice to those who are aspiring to become a veterinarian or plan to join any health-related profession as well as the organizations that educate and employ them.
ACLAM is honored to recognize Dr. William “Bill” Watson, Dr. Gwendolyn “Gwen” McCormick, Dr. Leslie Diaz, and Dr. Tracy Hanner in this 45-min educational video being offered to both our membership as well as the general public to support more diversity, equity and inclusivity, resulting in a true feeling of belonging, throughout all our organizations.
