Becoming a Student Chapter
In order to foster and promote interest and access to information and education in the numerous aspects of holistic veterinary medicine, the AHVMA recognizes student chapters at individual veterinary schools with the following criteria:
- Accreditation or provisional accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).
- Submission of chapter constitution and bylaws for approval that is customized by the applicants for their school, to be reviewed and resubmitted annually at the time of that chapter’s transition to new officers.
- Contact information for current chapter officers and SAHVMA delegate.
- A chapter advisor who is a member of the AHVMA (either faculty member or local practitioner)
