Other Benefits

 

Clients’ complaints can often be resolved through MVMA’s Ethics and Grievance Committee, which offers neutral, third party investigation and fact-finding without involving the Massachusetts Division of Registration Board of Veterinary Medicine.

 

If you or a veterinarian you know has a problem related to alcohol or drug abuse, MVMA can provide a referral that will help. Recovering professionals can contribute to our organization and society, and we support the state?sponsored program that assists licensees seeking to recover from drug and alcohol problems, without disciplinary action.

 

MVMA advocates on legislative and regulatory matters affecting veterinary practice, animal welfare, and similar issues that concern our members.
