What is the Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act?

The Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act (2015) is a set of rules in California that regulates how veterinarians can practice. Veterinary Medicine Mobility (VMM) refers to the ability of a veterinarian to practice in multiple locations without having to re-apply for a license in each location. This means that a veterinarian licensed in California can perform services and treatments in any other state that is part of the Veterinary Mobility Compact (VMC). The Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act helps animal owners as it allows veterinarians to travel to farms and provide care to animals on a regular basis. It also provides veterinarians with the ability to provide services to more clients without being limited to one geographic location. The Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act also gives veterinarians opportunities to consult with other veterinarians and specialists outside their area of expertise. This makes it easier for veterinarians to help their clients when the need arises, as the Act allows for direct communication between veterinarians in different locations. Finally, the Veterinary Medicine Mobility Act helps to protect the public by providing higher standards for veterinarians. This means that the quality of service a veterinarian provides is consistent no matter where they practice. This helps to protect everyone and ensure that everyone has access to the highest quality veterinary care.
