Licensure Data by Jurisdiction
Purpose of Displaying These Numbers
In alignment with Resolution 2025-2, adopted by the AAVSB at the 2025 Annual Meeting and Conference, the AAVSB shall annually publish current numbers of veterinarians, CVTs/LVTs/RVTs, and VPAs licensed in each Member Board jurisdiction on a consolidated webpage for public access to help build public confidence regarding the availability of care resources in Member Board jurisdictions.
To that end, please see the map and alphabetized list of participating jurisdictions below.
This initiative, updated annually, ensures stakeholders, policymakers, and the public have accurate, timely information on licensed professionals in each jurisdiction. Furthermore, it supports informed decision-making and reinforces trust in the veterinary regulatory system.
