Organizations Filed Purposes: The North American Veterinary Community (NAVC) is a nonprofit organization on a mission: to provide world-class continuing professional development for the global veterinary healthcare community.

Our mission is to provide world-class continuing education for all members of the veterinary healthcare team. We pursue this mission through an annual conference, an interactive institute program, student and international outreach programs, and our periodic journals.

NAVC's program activities consist primarily of educational activities which provide training opportunities to develop the knowledge and capabilities of individuals involved in the veterinary healthcare community. The educational opportunities provided by NAVC train participants in the most up-to-date treatment and care methodologies, which allow these participants to provide a higher quality of care for animals. The Organization presents an annual educational conference, Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX), to veterinary professionals and others which offers advanced learning opportunities, innovations, and meaningful connections to participants. The 2019 VMX had nearly 18,000 attendees for its five-day conference. Attendees received world-class continuing education through interactive symposia, hands-on labs, lectures, and exhibitor booths. The education at VMX allows attendees to provide a higher quality of animal care and provides necessary continuing education credits to allow veterinary professionals to meet state-mandated education and licensing requirements. NAVC also provides students and others with financial need discounted/free admissions to attend its conference and other training activities to provide greater educational opportunities to those individuals who might otherwise be unable to attend. In connection with the NAVC Conference, the Organization received approximately $140,000 of free use of medical equipment and donated supplies.

The Media (formerly Publishing) group provides world-class education and training to develop the knowledge and capabilities of individuals in the veterinary healthcare community through journals and online media. All publications are supplemented by regular digital communications and a robust website which provides key educational information to individuals involved in various aspects of animal care. Today's Veterinary Practice is published six times per year as a free educational resource for members of the veterinary community. It is provided free of charge to veterinarians, veterinary nurses/technicians, practice managers, veterinary assistants, veterinary faculty, and third-year and fourth-year veterinary students. The journal is BPA media audited and certified and has a circulation of 70,000 subscribers. Today's Veterinary Nurse (previously Today's Veterinary Technician) is an official peer-reviewed print journal and is published four times per year as a free educational resource for members of the veterinary community. It is provided free of charge to veterinary nurses/technicians, veterinary assistants, veterinary technician students, and other members of the veterinary healthcare team. The journal is BPA media audited and certified and has a circulation of 45,000 subscribers. Today's Veterinary Business is dedicated to improving the financial health of veterinary practices. It is provided free of charge as an educational resource. It is sent to 55,000 practice owners, practice managers and associate veterinarians on a bimonthly basis and features content related to finance, leadership, community, human resources, retail/merchandising and marketing. Veterinary Advantage is dedicated to providing educational resources to distribution channel representatives. Its goal is to improve the knowledge and performance of inside and outside distributor sales reps, so they can bring value to veterinary practices and ultimately help improve animal care. VetAdvantage is provided free of charge to 6,000 representatives on a bimonthly basis and features content related to the animal health industry. It also includes the Fountain Report, which is a weekly news aggregation service that is a subscription-based educational resource reaching approximately 2,000 animal health industry executives from 100 different companies on the commercial side of the veterinary business. The goal of the report is to aggregate news and recent educational developments across every sector of the animal health business allowing busy executives to easily stay up-to-date on industry activity. Spark! is a year-round educational resource for veterinary professionals to get industry news and educational insights through video content to enhance medical care. The programming focuses on industry-wide trends and concerns as well as what it is like to be a veterinary professional.

In addition to the VMX event mentioned above, NAVC provides additional educational and training opportunities to develop the knowledge and skill of individuals in the veterinary healthcare community through the NAVC Institute and other similar events.The NAVC Institute is an annual multi-day educational program offered to veterinary professionals. The NAVC Institute had over 250 registrants for its nine veterinary continuing education courses over a span of five days. These courses elevated the attendees' knowledge and skill in a particular field of study through the use of classroom lectures, hands-on labs, and group discussions with course leaders. The education at the Institute allows attendees to provide a higher quality of animal care and provides necessary continuing education credits to allow veterinary professionals to meet state-mandated education and licensing requirements. In connection with the Institute, the Organization received approximately $120,000 of free use of medical equipment and donated supplies.
