VECCS - a brief history

The VECCS was originally organized as the Veterinary Critical Care Society (VCCS) with a set of established bylaws in 1978. Members of the Veterinary Anesthesia Society merged with VCCS in 1983. The name of the organization was changed to its current VECCS when the American Association of Veterinary Emergency Clinicians joined the Society in July, 1984. Membership has grown from approximately 200 in 1985 to 3,400 today. The membership represents a variety of areas of veterinary medicine, including private general practice, specialty referral practice, emergency practice, and teaching institutions. Membership is worldwide with representation from more than 25 countries located on every continent.
