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 annually honors those who have made significant contributions to the veterinary profession through a series of awards. This year, the CVMA recognized Bonnie Mader with the Meritorious Service Award, which honors service on behalf of animals, the veterinary profession, or people who celebrate and promote the human-animal bond in California.
When I was a child growing up in Southern California, one of my favorite books was James Herriot’s Treasury for Children. A veterinarian, Dr. Herriot wrote both adult and children’s stories about his cases and patients in the English countryside, and his tales of veterinary medicine inspired me to become a veterinarian myself.
Research shows that trusted financial guidance helps veterinarians thrive, not just survive. That’s why CVMA has partnered with Sabadoodle to offer the 90-Day Money Mentorship Program. Financial stress is a leading cause of burnout, especially among early-career veterinarians navigating the shift from classroom to practice. Anxiety over money can impact care quality, productivity, and retention.
