What’s happening on Capitol Hill: Advocacy update
Federal legislation backed by the AVMA would strengthen dog importation requirements, provide more resources to monitor the health of dogs entering the United States, and require toxicity warning labels on foods containing xylitol.
AVMA also is working to make sure the U.S. Education Department’s overhaul of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program responds to the needs of veterinary borrowers.
These initiatives are outlined in the latest Capitol Hill update video on AVMA’s YouTube channel, which summarizes recent developments in Washington that affect veterinarians and veterinary teams.
AVMA’s work to promote and advance veterinary medicine ensures that veterinary perspectives are heard and considered in the nation's capital. AVMA advocacy is foundational in supporting our profession, and it makes a difference in the lives of veterinary professionals, our patients, and our clients.
