About Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics (SVME) - Official

The Society for Veterinary Medical Ethics was founded in 1994 by a group of veterinarians, biomedical researchers and academics to promote discussion and debate about ethical issues arising in and relevant to veterinary practice. The major objectives of the SVME are: - to encourage ethical practices and professional behavior of veterinarians in all aspects of the profession - to increase the understanding of the philosophical, social, moral and ethical values encountered by the veterinary profession - to sponsor seminars and other presentations on ethics and values at local, state, regional and national meetings of veterinarians and other interested individuals - to promote the teaching of ethical and value issues at colleges of veterinary medicine and to identify speakers on these subjects - to encourage persons from other professions and disciplines - such as biomedical research, medicine, law, political science, philosophy and theology - - to engage in cross-disciplinary discussions and studies of these issues - to exchange information about veterinary ethical issues via bulletins, periodicals and newsletters - to maintain archives of appropriate documents and materials related to these disciplines.
