Our corporate sponsors recognize CVMF’s commitment to public health, a core duty of the veterinary medical profession. In lending their support to our programs, these forward thinking corporate sponsors have made a commitment to society as embodied in perhaps the least well-known portion of the Veterinarian’s Oath – “for the benefit of society.” CVMF programs are created with both animal and public health in mind. We applaud the commitment of our corporate sponsors and thank them for their support.
