Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen and support independently owned veterinary dermatology practices through collaboration, shared resources, and collective advocacy.
We aim to promote patient-first clinical care, advance research and education, expand opportunities for residents and early-career dermatologists in independent practice settings, and ensure that independently owned practices have a strong voice in shaping the future of our specialty.
As a community, we seek to preserve diversity and autonomy in veterinary dermatology.
