The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS) is immediately offering all veterinary students worldwide who are in their final year of veterinary school a complimentary online membership to IVAS. IVAS is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting excellence in the practice of veterinary acupuncture as an integral part of the total veterinary health care delivery system.
The Society endeavors to establish uniformly high standards of veterinary acupuncture through its educational programs and accreditation examination. IVAS seeks to integrate veterinary acupuncture and the practice of western veterinary science, while also noting that the science of veterinary acupuncture does not overlook allied health systems, such as chiropractic, osteopathy, homeopathy, herbology, nutrition, kinesiology, etc. IVAS serves a networking and communication function amongst our international membership, and there are now affiliated veterinary acupuncture associations in several countries around the world.
The online membership will cost you nothing, and in return you will have full access to our member’s only site. From this site you may download the canine and equine acupuncture point lists, current and past issues of the quarterly newsletter “The Point,” and Annual Congress Proceedings from recent years. We are also upgrading the website, and there will soon be a student members’ forum for you to discuss amongst yourselves and perhaps receive advice from a certified IVAS member.
Joining IVAS is easy. Just complete the following information and either email to office@ivas.org or fax to IVAS at +970-266-0666. Be sure to add your Email address.
