About Us
Veterinary medicine is one of the least culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse professions in America. As a result, the voices of those on the fringes are often unheard. It can be an isolating experience.
The Multicultural Veterinary Medical Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 2014 to address this need. We seek to foster a community of veterinary professionals from diverse backgrounds and cultures to create a mutual support network for our members. Furthermore, our goal is to harness the collective knowledge of our members to address both our own needs and the needs of a modern, multicultural society.
Our Mission
The Multicultural Veterinary Medical Association exists to lead veterinary medicine towards the racial and ethnic diversity, equity, and inclusivity that our profession needs to serve a multicultural society.
Our Vision
To transform the veterinary profession into one which is inclusive and equitable, where people of underrepresented races and ethnicities are valued and supported in their careers resulting in all communities receiving the benefits of veterinary medicine.
Our Goals
Create a space in which veterinary professionals of diverse backgrounds can network and educate each other.
Create a more culturally-responsive workforce so as to support a diverse and multicultural society.
