How the IVMA
can help

Community

Being a member of the IVMA means you are automatically connected with other Veterinarians in Idaho. Find support and develop friendships with your colleagues through four regional chapters, by attending the annual meeting, and by serving on committees or in leadership roles.

Advocacy

Often, busy veterinarians don’t realize what bills are being introduced that pertain to them practicing medicine effectively. The IVMA’s Board of Directors and lobbyist are there to protect our interests on a state level. We help monitor and take needed action on any bills that affect our profession.

Premium CE

Every year the IVMA hosts a multi-day meeting that offers high-quality continuing education for both large and small animal practitioners, and a technician-specific track. The program is created by a working veterinarian who selects relevant and timely topics. Varying the host city allows attendees to see all areas of the state.
