SWVS is owned by five partner state VMAs, each of which is an affiliate of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

A maximum of 28 CE credit hours are available for the SWVS General Symposium. Additional credit hours are available as listed below. In addition, DVMs licensed in Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma or Texas may claim 2 hours of CE for visiting the SWVS Exhibit Hall. Please check with your state veterinary medical licensing board for specific CE allowances and requirements. It is the individual’s responsibility to maintain and submit CE records as required. Attendees are encouraged to consult their state licensing board for specific allowances and any restrictions on the number of hours accepted for specialty and non-science sessions (practice management). The Practice Management/Office Personnel classes were reviewed and approved by the VHMA program for 36 hours of continuing education in jurisdictions which recognize VHMA approval.
