Who We Are
The ACVIM Foundation is a non-profit organization created in 2000 to support and advance the work of specialists in the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM): small and large animal internists, cardiologists, neurologists, and oncologists. Founded in 1973, the ACVIM sets international standards for veterinary internal medicine - overseeing board certification in the various fields of veterinary internal medicine, and advancing research and education.
Because clinical studies in veterinary medicine are severely under funded, ACVIM specialists have long depended on the generosity of private donors and industry sponsors to support their research. The ACVIM Foundation exists to bridge the gap between available funding and the vital work that needs to be done.
Your contribution helps fund our programs of research, education, advocacy, and service, which are leading us toward our ultimate goal - healthier and longer lives for animals.
What We Do
The ACVIM Foundation gives you an opportunity to have a significant impact on the future of animal health and the veterinary internal medicine specialties. Your donations support:
- Studies addressing the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of animal diseases
- Communication about the results of these studies to the veterinary profession and general public
- Educational opportunities for ACVIM Diplomates, residents, and veterinary practitioners
- Improved training of residents and veterinary students
- Specialty Medicine Public Awareness
Our Mission
The mission of the ACVIM Foundation is to eliminate animal and human disease by supporting discovery, education, and partnerships throughout the global community of medicine.

In a little over three decades, the ACVIM has grown from 58 members to over 1,800: 904 small animal internists, 432 large animal internists, 159 cardiologists, 151 neurologists, and 196 oncologists.
Still, the demand for these specialists far exceeds their numbers. The Foundation helps to develop and fund additional residency training programs in these crucial veterinary fields.
