Professional Body
Canine Association of Accredited Myotherapists
Along with the opportunity to become a licensee, a graduate can also become part of our professional body.
The rationale behind developing CAAM, was to develop a professional team of Myotherapist’s, who are dedicated to providing an excellent and accountable referral service, to support the veterinary profession with cases of musculoskeletal issues in dogs.
It is built on a foundation of high quality and moderated learning, then through a continuing support structure and the compulsory accomplishment of regulated ‘Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
The organisation consists of two committees;
- The Operational Committee, made up of Galen Licensees
- The Executive Committee, made up of canine professionals that have no direct connection with Galen (this is to provide transparency with policy and a viable independent complaints mechanism, should it be required)
CAAM Mission Statement
CAAM will strive for excellence in Canine Myotherapy. This will be achieved through the application of accredited education and then further development through a scheme of regulated Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
It will further enhance good referral practice by upholding approved practice forming a credible and professional referral service for para-professionals.
CAAM will be dedicated to the dissemination of knowledge through the education of individuals and groups; and through learned publications and other media. CAAM will be dedicated to the improvement and safeguarding of health and welfare of all canines through the provision of outstanding Myotherapy techniques together with the formulation of credible partnerships that will aid the progression of the therapy.
