What is SAVMA?
The Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) was created in 1969 as the national organization of veterinary students. This organization represents over 18,000 members across 39 student chapters — 33 in the US, one in Canada, two in the Caribbean, and three in the United Kingdom — and one associate organization. SAVMA is led by an Executive Committee and House of Delegates (HOD). The HOD consists of two representatives from each SAVMA Chapter, serving as the student voice of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) with voting rights.
Our Mission and Purpose
