Donate NowTelehealth in Veterinary Medicine
The FVMA PAC has been at the forefront of ensuring that telehealth policies support veterinary practitioners while maintaining high standards of care. Recent legislative efforts have focused on establishing safe and effective telemedicine protocols that protect patient welfare and enable veterinarians to expand their reach responsibly.
Mid-Level Practitioner Legislation
With proposed legislation aiming to create a mid-level practitioner role in veterinary medicine, the FVMA PAC is actively working to ensure these developments maintain quality and safety in animal care. The PAC's advocacy helps safeguard veterinary standards while addressing workforce shortages and access to care.
Xylazine Scheduling
In response to increasing concerns over controlled substances, xylazine scheduling has become a critical topic. The FVMA PAC advocates for legislation that balances the responsible use of xylazine in veterinary medicine with public health interests, helping veterinarians retain access to essential tools for animal care.
Why Your Donation Matters
The veterinary profession faces complex legislative challenges, from telehealth restrictions to controlled substance regulations. To effectively advocate for our profession, we need strong financial backing for our Political Action Committee (PAC). Your contributions empower us to influence legislation, protect our practice rights, and ensure the health and welfare of animals in our community.
Veterinary vs. Dentistry Advocacy Impact
Consider the impact seen in the dentistry field: PAC funding has been pivotal in securing favorable policies for dental professionals, including expanded practice rights and healthcare protections. By contrast, limited veterinary PAC funds mean our voices risk being overshadowed in legislative discussions. Your support can make the difference in our ability to stand strong for veterinary medicine.
