the
veterinary
culture
manifesto

The people of veterinary medicine enrich and save lives, advance science and technology, and nurture vibrant, local communities. They are the stewards of an incredible zoonosis - the human-animal bond.

Neglect of these caretakers is unacceptable. We must adopt guiding principles to continuously build a better, brighter future for vet med. People must come first.

This set of guiding principles exists to:

✓ Empower our profession to do the greatest good
✓ Enrich our profession personally and professionally
✓ Evolve our profession across every taxon in the veterinary domain

The leaders and innovators of veterinary medicine have synergized their expertise to back this set of guiding principles. We are rallying the profession to build a better, brighter future in vet med. We optimistically present to you The Veterinary Culture Manifesto.

Please take action with us by signing this manifesto and adopting the following principles.
