The American College of Veterinary Botanical Medicine will provide a means to reach diplomate status through maintaining a standard base of post-graduate instruction and examination, offer educational opportunities designed to advance experience and proficiency, and enhance the integration of scientific, clinical, and traditional knowledge into veterinary medicine practice for the greater benefit of the health and well-being of animals.
Our Mission
The American College of Veterinary Botanical Medicine was established in 2014 to provide a source of expertise in the use of medicinal plants to those trained in conventional veterinary medicine, but untrained in these modalities. It was also established to increase the proficiency and clinical competency of veterinarians interested in using these modalities for their patients. To fulfill this mission, the American College of Veterinary Botanical Medicine (ACVBM) has established a group of Charter Fellows of the College, a pathway to Fellowship for those who follow in our footsteps, and a group of special mentors to provide guidance for other veterinarians interested in using or learning about botanical medicine.
