American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology
The American Academy
of Veterinary Dermatology (AAVD) was founded in 1964 in order to further
scientific progress in veterinary and comparative dermatology. The AAVD
does this by:
| 1. | Coordinating and funding research in veterinary dermatology. | ||
| 2. | Providing an exclusive organization for dedicated individuals who devote professional activity to research, teaching, or practice of skin diseases of animals. | ||
| 3. | Furthering dermatologic education by providing meetings, seminars, and courses where results of advanced studies in dermatology are presented. | ||
| 4. | Publishing the Derm Dialogue, a newsletter sent to all AAVD members. | ||
Membership in the AAVD is open to all veterinarians who are interested in veterinary dermatology. Memberships shall be approved by the Executive Board.
Affiliate Membership is open to non-veterinarians who are interested in veterinary dermatology. Affiliate memberships shall be approved by the Executive Board. Affiliate members shall not have the right to vote or hold office in the organization.
All applications must include an application fee of $25.00. Checks must be in U. S. dollars, drawn on a U. S. bank or institution, payable to the AAVD. Visa or MasterCard payments can be made by completing the attached (over) authorization form. Applications must be received by the AAVD Executive Secretary by the last day of the last month before the annual AAVD meeting each spring, in order to be considered for membership that year. Applicants will be informed of their membership standing following that meeting. Membership is not effective until the new member has made full payment of annual dues for the year that AAVD membership was granted.
