SCAVMA is part of a larger national organization, SAVMA.  Each year there are two meetings in which representatives from our school are joined by reps from all of the Vet Schools and issues important to our careers and education are addressed.

 The first meeting is geared for students, SAVMA Symposium, and is hosted by a different Veterinary School each year. This year it was held in North Carolina, and next year will be in Alabama!

 The second meeting is the annual AVMA Convention.  Last year’s convention was in Honolulu, Hawaii and this year will be in Washington DC!

 The SAVMA House of Delegates follows the guidelines set forth in the AVMA Constitution and votes on issues that are at the forefront of our concern.

 Our Purdue SAVMA Delegates attend both of these annual meetings to represent Purdue’s Student Chapter, as well as attend SCAVMA executive board meetings to stay up to date on the workings of SCAVMA here at Purdue. 

 These positions are a fabulous way to network with students and Veterinarians working within the AVMA and SAVMA. 

 For more information contact our current SAVMA Delegates.
