Hello, Doctor!
The dangers of working with animals exist no matter the size of your patients. A nervous Chihuahua or frightened Persian can pose as much of a risk as an Irish Wolfhound.
Whether it’s the threat of physical injuries such as being bitten or scratched or simply the inherent risk of treating an animal that's a member of your client's family, working in companion animal medicine comes with a significant set of risks.
The AVMA Trust understands the unique professional and personal challenges that companion animal medicine veterinarians face on a daily basis, and we’re here to help you insure yourself against those risks.
We created this guide specifically with you and your patients in mind. And while we know that selecting the right insurance coverages can feel overwhelming, we hope this guide can help answer your questions and set your mind at ease.
Connect with the Trust and let us do the legwork so you can get back to doing what you do best: caring for patients.
Best wishes,
