Biography/Profile
The American College of Veterinary Microbiologists (ACVM) is the specialty organization recognized by the American Veterinary Medical Association for
Certification of veterinarians with special expertise in microbiology. Veterinary microbiology includes the fields of bacteriology, mycology, immuno-serology, and virology as they apply to veterinary medical science.
The ACVM developed from the former American Association of Veterinary Bacteriologists (AAVB). Increasing awareness among members of the AAVB of the need for board certification of veterinary microbiologists resulted in formation of an organizing committee in 1962.
Preparation of the Constitution and By-laws of the ACVM by this committee and approval of this document by the Council of Education, as well as the House of
Delegates of the American Veterinary Medical Association, paved the way for the organizational meeting of this specialty group at Louisville, Kentucky, on July 12,
1966. Full approval was granted by the AVMA effective July 21, 1968, at the annual meeting in Boston, Massachusetts.
