Dr. Rebecca Quam
Who I Am
Using veterinary skills for missions has been something Rebecca has wanted to do ever since high school. Her love for South Africa then developed during a biology research trip there during the summer after her first year at Hillsdale College. Once she had completed her veterinary degree at the University of Glasgow Rebecca came home and worked in a small animal practice for 5 years and helped with CVM's Real Life Real Impact conferences before feeling led to return to South Africa full-time with CVM.
My Work
Dr. Quam serves in student ministry at North-West University in Mahikeng, South Africa. She teaches final-year Animal Health Technician students in the practical aspects of veterinary medicine, but is also involved in lecturing, vaccine outreaches in local communities, and mentoring new veterinary graduates. In addition, Dr. Quam serves alongside other missionaries on campus in leading a ladies Bible study, home church, and witnessing program for students.
My Partner
North-West University has been very welcoming to North American veterinarians willing to bring their experience and their faith to Mmabatho. This university is quite large, but Rebecca is working in the Dale Bieghle Center for Animal Health Studies.
