State Veterinary Medical Boards

State Veterinary Medical Boards are state-run organizations responsible for licensing, regulating, and overseeing veterinary professionals within their jurisdiction. They ensure veterinarians meet specific educational and ethical standards to provide quality care to animals. The boards also investigate complaints and enforce laws to protect animal health, public safety, and professional integrity. By maintaining high standards, they help ensure that pet owners and others receive competent veterinary services and uphold the trusted reputation of the veterinary profession.
