Every veterinarian deserves a rich and fulfilling career

News and Resources

NDVMA strives to keep you up to date on what is happening in the State as well as the profession. Through a quarterly newsletter, Constant Contact emails, a blog, Facebook and the NDVMA website, we make sure you receive the latest news. NDVMA also is aligned with the American Veterinary Medical Association and has access to timely and valuable resources.

Advocacy

NDVMA's legislative team is continuously at work to have a pulse on public policy and regulations that affect the veterinary profession. Our lobbyist and legislative team will keep you informed and work to protect your interests on a State level. We monitor and take action on any bills that affect our profession. NDVMA also collaborates with the AVMA legislative team on veterinary issues evolving at the Federal level.

Scholarships

NDVMA is committed to supporting future veterinarians. Each year NDVMA works hand in hand with the NDVMA Auxiliary to raise money for scholarships and award scholarships to ND vet med students in accredited veterinary medicine programs.

Veterinary Practice Growth Series

NDVMA makes available "live" and "on demand" Veterinary Practice Growth webinars for NDVMA members only. This series of FREE webinars are created to provide timely advice from the industry’s top experts about what creates a healthy veterinary practice. The series was envisioned by the Veterinary Medical Association Executives Practice Health Committee to make insights and perspectives from the experts available to any veterinary professional with an interest in practice growth. These series also are approved for CE hours by the North Dakota Board of Veterinary Examiners.

Serving on the NDVMA board has been a great opportunity to understand the legislative aspects affecting the veterinary profession in this state. The NDVMA board spends a great deal of time and effort to inform legislators about important topics relating to the profession and to ensure the right decisions are made in the state legislative sessions. Networking and building relationships with legislators within the community and throughout the state are important to support our initiatives of the organization. It has been exciting and thrilling to watch the board's efforts become successful!

NDVMA has proven to be a valuable resource for me as it provides the opportunity to network with other veterinarians across the state. I own and operate a small, rural veterinary practice and I have an outlet to remain in touch with others, thus bridging the ​gap for sharing ideas, assistance with problem solving concerns, and enabling me to have a better understanding how best to serve our customers' needs with the valued support of my professional peers.
