What is VMG?

A learning environment.

A welcoming community.

An ever-expanding repository of resources and expertise.

All of these things make up VMG, a professional membership organization for veterinary hospital owners who want to improve the business side of their practice.

But more than anything, we’re the sum of our membership: a group of problem solvers, brainstormers, lifelong friends, industry leaders, and above all else, veterinarians and practice owners. Our study groups, courses, and conversations with industry experts bring the veterinary community out of isolation and into practical solutions for making their hospitals thrive as much for their performance as for their quality of care. In addition to tangible learnings, our members can expect measurable financial benefit thanks to our combined purchasing power.
