Top veterinary medical leaders have partnered to launch a new non-profit organisation, the Board of Chief Veterinary Medical Officers (BCVMO).
BCVMO is a collective of over 60 veterinary medical leaders and experts from all segments of the veterinary industry, including animal health manufacturers, corporate, independent and non-profit hospitals, universities, shelters and distributors.
The purpose of BCVMO is to expand care to more animals, improve the lives of the veterinary team and serve as one cohesive medical leader voice to advocate for positive solutions.
Dr Jimmy Barr, BCVMO chair, shared: “We are a group of medical leaders that are committed to collaboration and moving the industry forward.
“This cross-banner cooperation has never happened before, and we know we will make the industry better for us all!”
BCVMO is comprised exclusively of the top veterinary medical voices across almost every segment of the animal health industry.
The organisation is uniquely positioned, due to the expertise and leadership roles held by the membership, to serve as a bridge between veterinary medicine and veterinary business.
Most of its members serve as the leading medical voice and decision maker in their respective organisations.
The dedicated executive board and membership combined represent more than 600 years of experience in the veterinary profession and span every veterinary medical specialty, and BCVMO member organisations represent tens of thousands of veterinary medical professionals and serve more than 40,000,000 pets annually.
“Our collaborative group is well positioned to address the contemporary challenges of thousands of veterinary care givers and millions of pets,” says Dr Scott Schatzberg, BCVMO vice chair.
“We are focused on access to veterinary care, the national shortage of veterinary care givers, and how our daily challenges impact our ability to deliver high quality care, all while fostering the wellbeing of our veterinary teams.”
