Pratice-paid Membership Plan: NYSVMS Champion Practices
Become a NYSVMS Champion Practice
Join the Practice-Paid Membership Plan.
One annual invoice.
Unlimited value for your entire team.
What Is the Practice-Paid Membership Plan?
The Practice-Paid Membership Plan allows your hospital to simplify and strengthen team support by covering NYSVMS memberships for your DVMs through one easy, annual invoice.
Each veterinarian receives full individual membership benefits—from CE and legal guidance to wellness resources and exclusive updates. LVTs receive free CE, and your whole team can use resources like our help center. You handle one payment; we support your entire team.
Your hospital earns the title of “NYSVMS Champion Practice,” a designation that reflects your leadership, investment in veterinary wellbeing, and commitment to New York’s professional community.
NYSVMS Champion Practices dues help us maintain a strong advocacy voice in Albany. Your support ensures veterinarians—not outside interest groups—are shaping the laws that govern how we care for animals in New York.
“LOVE having the ability to have my obscure legal and business-practice questions answered from the veterinary viewpoint! This is invaluable.”
