Membership - NJVMA

Each and every veterinarian deserves a fulfilling career

NJVMA is a voluntary membership association that leads the veterinary community by providing superior continuing education, effective legislative and regulatory advocacy, and indispensable services that enable members to care for their patients, clients, staff, and themselves.

The New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association follows a Practice Membership structure which incorporates all practice team members (veterinarians and staff) under one membership. This allows for greater opportunities for associate veterinarians and veterinary practice team members to benefit from the programs and services offered by our association. While the NJVMA recognizes that our membership structure is designed to incorporate the entire practice, individual veterinarian memberships are available. Solo practitioners, industry veterinarians and government service veterinarians are encouraged to join!
