A select group of veterinarians in the state of Arizona apply for membership in the Arizona Academy of Veterinary Practice. Each year, to qualify for the Academy they must go above and beyond the state requirements for licensure by completing a rigorous series of continuing education courses. The state requires all veterinarians to complete 20 hours of continuing education in a two-year period to qualify for relicensing. The following list of AzVMA members have completed at least 50 hours in one year (2024) if they are a small animal veterinarian and at least 40 hours in one year (2024) if they are a large animal veterinarian.
