Nebraska Academy of Veterinary Medicine

The Nebraska Academy of Veterinary Medicine (NAVM) is a nonprofit membership association based in Omaha, Nebraska. In the early 1970s, Omaha metropolitan area veterinarians recognized a need for local, high-quality, small animal continuing education (CE). Thus, the Greater Omaha Veterinary Medical Association was created to fill that need. As the organization expanded, the name was changed to the Nebraska Academy of Veterinary medicine. Today, the NAVM has a diverse membership of veterinarians, licensed veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and office managers from Nebraska and the surrounding heartland.

Continuing education (CE) events were originally held at the Regency Lodge, the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium, and Nebraska Humane Society. Now, NAVM CE events are held at the Scott Conference Center on the beautiful campus of the University of Nebraska – Omaha.
