The CVMA is the voice of the veterinary profession in California. Our mission is to serve all veterinary professionals in California, safeguarding and advocating for veterinary medicine across every field and industry – including veterinarians, registered veterinary technicians, practice staff, and more.
The CVMA is made up of a diverse community of veterinary professionals. We are dedicated to protecting your career and supporting your success.
We offer a broad range of continuing education opportunities so that you may advance your veterinary career by the top experts in the veterinary field.
The CVMA is busy year-round advocating for laws that prioritize the interests of the veterinary profession and opposing those that threaten your career.
The CVMA is excited to announce our new Executive Director, Jon Klingborg, DVM! Dr. Klingborg has been involved in the CVMA since he graduated from veterinary school in 1992. He has worked on a wide array of CVMA committees and task forces, served as a member of both the CVMA House of Delegates and Board of Governors, and was elected CVMA President in 2004—the youngest president in the Association’s history.
The California Legislature voted to advance three bills that will significantly impact the Veterinary Medicine Practice Act: AB 1999 (Kalra) (Coauthor Berman): Veterinary medicine, AB 2010 (Soria) Veterinary medicine: veterinary surgery premises: spay and neuter services, and AB 1733 (Lee): License and registration renewal: continuing education.
On June 29, 2026, the California Veterinary Medical Association testified in opposition to two bills—AB 2774 and AB 2775—that were potentially going to include new language that would allow all licensed human health care providers to expand their scopes of practice to include animals following the completion of a certification program. The CVMA has a long history of successfully fighting scope creep attempts by chiropractors and physical therapists, including stalled legislation earlier this year that would have permitted chiropractors who have taken a certification course to expand their practices to include animals by becoming a “animal chiropractic practitioner.”
