About SVME

The Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics was founded in 1994 by a group of veterinarians, biomedical researchers and academics to promote discussion and debate about ethical issues arising in and relevant to veterinary practice.

Current membership includes:

• Veterinary school deans
• AVMA officers
• State veterinary medical association officers
• Board-certified laboratory animal medicine specialists
• Biomedical specialists
• Philosophers
• Animal Welfare Specialists
  
• Humane society officers
• Clinical veterinary practitioners
• Veterinary school and university faculty
• Veterinary-oriented students

The SVME publishes a newsletter, holds a plenary meeting with lectures and discussions at the AVMA annual convention, distributes information about recent relevant veterinary-ethics publications and actively seeks to elevate the level of discussions of issues in veterinary ethics.

Although many SVME members are veterinarians, we do not limit membership to veterinarians.
