Our Mission

The mission of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) is to enhance animal and human health by advancing veterinary internal medicine through training, education, and discovery.

The American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM), established in 1972, is the recognized specialty college responsible for establishing training requirements, evaluating and accrediting training programs, and examining and certifying veterinarians in the veterinary specialties of Cardiology, Oncology, Neurology, Large Animal Internal Medicine, and Small Animal Internal Medicine.

As a non-profit organization, the ACVIM promotes and fosters scientific and professional activities that lead to better care for both animals and humans through:

• education, training and certification of specialists in veterinary internal medicine (ACVIM Diplomates);
• discovery and dissemination of new medical knowledge; and
• increasing public awareness of advances in veterinary medical care

Our newly enhanced website is a forum for knowledge and discussion that connects the talents of our ACVIM Diplomates with veterinary professionals, animal owners, and members of the public who seek to exchange ideas and information in the field of veterinary medicine.
