Veterinary Business
Management Association

Welcome!

The UCD School of Veterinary Medicine's chapter of the VBMA is dedicated to increasing business acumen and providing networking opportunities to veterinarians and veterinary students. It is important for practicing veterinarians to be proficient in many skills beyond patient care, and it is the goal of the VBMA to promote business management issues (as well as many others including personal finance management, conflict resolution, stress management, etc.) to the veterinary community in and around UC Davis. Check out the events page for upcoming and past VBMA events!
