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.
