Founded in 1863, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) is one of the largest and oldest not-for-profit association for veterinarians in the world. Headquartered in Schaumburg, IL., with a satellite office in the heart of Washington, D.C., the AVMA represents more than 73,000 veterinarians who use their professional training in a variety of ways — from private practice to public health, agriculture, food safety, academia and the military.
What does the AVMA do to benefit society?
- The AVMA is designated by the U.S. Department of Education as the accrediting body for the 28 schools of veterinary medicine in the United States. The AVMA educational standards of excellence are recognized worldwide as the "gold standard" in veterinary education. Today, many foreign veterinary schools use the AVMA as the model for their veterinary school curricula.
- The AVMA produces animal-related scientific and medical information that benefits veterinarians, governments, regulatory agencies and the public. This information encompasses a wide range of topics, including: selecting and raising a pet; protecting the public from zoonotic diseases, such as rabies and toxoplasmosis; and developing guidelines for the proper use of life-saving drugs.
- The AVMA works closely with allied organizations and entities, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Academy of Sciences, to accomplish its work in protecting animal and human health.
