Who We Are

In the spring of 1952, the Buffalo Academy of Veterinary Medicine was organized as a continuing education venture. Since that time, it has become an outstanding example of the will and dedication of our local veterinarians’ interest in fostering the educational advancements of the veterinary profession.

Each lecture provides 4 New York State approved CE hours. Traditionally, we meet on the 1st Thursday of every month from September to May.
