This year, the CVMA is undergoing significant changes to update both its appearance and functionality, starting with our new logo and then transitioning to a new Association Management System (AMS). What is an AMS? Think of it like your Practice Information Management System. The AMS is a software platform that serves as the heart of the CVMA’s operations, managing membership records, event registrations, regulatory product sales, customer communications, and more.

Access to Care” is not just a trendy catchphrase—it has a long history. Common usage of the term began during the 1960s, primarily as a means to improve the availability of health care to the elderly and the poor.
