Long-Term Volunteer Opportunities

A Call for Volunteers is held to allow members to be a part of our committees and advisory groups. All volunteers must be ACAAM members and in good standing. The Call for Volunteers is currently closed. If you have any interest in a short-term volunteer opportunity, please send a message to [email protected]. 

Committee

Volunteer service is primarily completed through a combination of email correspondence and Zoom calls to advance specific committee charges. Committee members are appointed to serve a two-three year term. 

Advisory Group:

Volunteer service is completed through a combination of email correspondence and Zoom calls to advance specific charges. The group meets in an advisory capacity as specific issues arise. Advisory group members serve a two-year term.

Member Community Moderator: 

We are looking for moderators to stimulate discussion on the online ACAAM Community platform by posting questions and responding to those posted by the community. Member community moderators serve a one-year term. 

Short-Term Volunteer Opportunities

Consider the following...

Write an article for the Newsletter/Blog - ACAAM welcomes articles on any subject related to academic addiction medicine, and should be brief (average is 250 words) and represent you - your personality, your personal experiences, and your views.

Serve as Host for a Meet-up at a National Meeting - Attending a national meeting where you know ACAAM colleagues will be in attendance? Live in the area the meeting is being held at? Sign up to host a meet-up. There is no financial obligation to serving as a host.

Task Force Work - from time to time there is a need to assemble a task force to focus on a specific task or project. Add your name to the list if you are looking for short-term project work.

Promoting the Field at a Non-Addiction Medicine Conference - If you are attending or presenting at a non-addiction medicine conference, request our free "Ask Me About Addiction Medicine Fellowship Training" Button kit.
