If your school is interested in starting an official SCAAFP, the first step is to identify a Faculty Advisor. Have that person contact the AAFP at info@catvets.com to get set up. Our team will provide a Welcome Kit with useful resources for the Faculty Advisor and Student Officers to help launch and run a Student Chapter of the AAFP.

We can’t wait to help you achieve your educational and career goals! Please contact the AAFP at info@catvets.com with any questions.
