Student AVMA (SAVMA)
The Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) was created in 1969 as the national organization for veterinary students, in order to foster communication between individual chapters. Currently, SAVMA is comprised of 36 student chapters (30 in the U.S., 1 in Canada, 2 in the Caribbean, and 3 in the United Kingdom) and one associate organization, representing a total of over 16,000 veterinary student members. Follow the link to 'What Is SAVMA' to learn more on these student chapters and the national organization.
SAVMA's mission is to support, empower, and inspire all veterinary students in improving their lives, education and career, along with securing a better future for our profession through collaboration with our parent organization, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
