AVMA Council on Education Seeks Volunteer

January 11, 2017 — 

The AVMA Council on Education Selection committee is seeking interested and qualified clinical practitioners to serve on the Council. This is one of the most important volunteer roles that AVMA members can fill.

The AVMA Council on Education is recognized as the accrediting body for schools that offer the professional DVM degree, or its equivalent in the US and Canada; the COE also accredits other foreign programs. The Council encourages and assists colleges of veterinary medicine in meeting the requirements for accreditation, thus maintaining and advancing veterinary education, the basis for our profession.

Under our bylaws, the COE Selection Committee is charged with appointing the non-academic members of the Council (the academic members are selected by the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges). The committee will be filling the following position in the spring 2017:

• Private Clinical Practice.

We hope you will consider serving the profession by applying for this position. You will have the opportunity to work with a committed group of practitioners, academicians and public members to help ensure the quality of the education students receive at AVMA-COE accredited schools.

Please take the time to review the responsibilities of the Council here.

Our process for selecting members has changed this year. Interested candidates should complete the application here and submit it electronically by February 15, 2017. Please consult the AVMA web page if you have any questions.
