Why Join AARV?
"I have been a member of AARV since its inception. I started my stand-alone rehabilitation practice in December 2010, and AARV has been instrumental in my success. The management information AARV has collected helped me secure financing. I love their continuing education because I can earn rehab credits and network with peers at a national meeting. The website provides monthly articles, lists companies that give member discounts, and has classified ads where I have sold equipment. I appreciate AARV staying on top of changes in the field and protecting veterinary rights. AARV is a great organization that has accomplished so much already and will continue to lead in the future."
