Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association: Improving the Lives of Animals and Their Owners
The Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA) is a non-profit organization that aims to promote and advance the veterinary profession in Oklahoma. The association is composed of licensed veterinarians, veterinary technicians, students, and other professionals who are passionate about animal health and welfare.
At OVMA, we believe that animals play an important role in our lives. They provide us with companionship, comfort, and even help us perform essential tasks such as farming or law enforcement. As such, it’s crucial to ensure their well-being by providing them with proper medical care.
Our mission is to support veterinarians in their practice by providing them with resources and opportunities for continuing education. We also strive to educate the public about animal health issues so that they can make informed decisions regarding their pets’ care.
Membership Benefits
OVMA offers a range of benefits for its members. These include access to continuing education courses, networking opportunities with other professionals in the field, discounts on products and services from partner companies, advocacy efforts on behalf of the veterinary profession at both state and national levels.
Continuing Education
We understand how important it is for veterinarians to stay up-to-date on new developments in medicine. That’s why we offer a variety of continuing education courses throughout the year covering topics such as surgery techniques or emerging diseases like COVID-19.

Advocacy Efforts
OVMA is committed to advocating for the veterinary profession at both state and national levels. We work with legislators to ensure that laws and regulations are in place to protect animal health and welfare while also supporting veterinarians in their practice.
Public Education
We believe that educating the public about animal health issues is crucial for ensuring the well-being of animals. That’s why we offer resources like our “Pet Owner’s Guide” which provides information on topics such as pet nutrition, vaccinations, and parasite prevention.
