Good Luck!
Almost all vets are in AVMA.
AVMA provides local required CE programs for vets. You get substantially discounted rates if you are a member. AVMA provides malpractice and health insurance for vets and their staff. When I was in vet school, I had AVMA-provided student loans and health insurance. Again, membership was a requirement.
AVMA is to veterinary medicine what Monsanto is to agriculture.
AVMA is the veterinary industry monopoly and has all practicing vets in a vice-grip. If you are an associate of a practice owned by another vet, or work for any unit of government, your membership may be employer-provided, whether you like it or not.
I would suspect most ARAV vets are also AVMA members out of necessity, as described above. AVMA is also in collusion with H$U$.
