Michigan Veterinary Medical Association

Michigan Veterinary Medical Association

The Michigan Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA), is a not-for-profit association representing more than 2100 Michigan veterinarians working in private and corporate practice, government, industry, educational institutions, and uniformed services.

Considered the primary source of continuing education for veterinarians located in the State of Michigan, the MVMA develops and maintains educational programming for DVMs. As Michigan is one of the few remaining states without mandatory continuing education, the MVMA continues to work with the Michigan Board of Veterinary Medicine to develop program guidelines and standards.

In addition to providing information resources and discounts on personal and professional services, they advocate for veterinary and animal welfare legislation.

The MVMA publishes The Michigan Veterinarian and distributes a monthly educational enewsletter.

History

Founded in 1883, the association, through a variety of educational, outreach and advocacy activities, works to advance member development; promote the professional and scientific standards or veterinary medicine; improve the business and work environment for veterinarians; and to serve as the public voice for veterinary medicine in Michigan. MVMA is at the forefront of the effort to educate veterinarians to serve as front-line defenders of the public against zoonotic diseases, which can be transmitted from animals to humans, in order to play a role in maintaining public health and safety.

MVMA Position Statements

The MVMA produces position statements in response to member requests and public interest. These statements are general and aim to encourage improvement based on the best available scientific evidence.

Involvement in Public Health & Safety

Due to the increased importance society has placed on the human-animal bond, the MVMA plays an important role in maintaining a network of experts skilled in public health and food animal monitoring and protection. As a recognized source of information for both the media and pet owners, the MVMA has worked to develop the Michigan State Animal Response Team (MSART). Charged with facilitating animal evacuation and care in emergency situations, Michigan SART is state-wide collaborative effort involving a diverse group of qualified veterinarians and other animal welfare experts.
