ARGENTINE SOCIETY OF VETERINARY MEDICINE

The Argentine Society of Veterinary Medicine ("Sociedad de Medicina Veterinaria Argentina" in Spanish Language) was founded in Buenos Aires in 1897, 14 years after the veterinary studies were established in Argentine and when there was only one Veterinary School functioning: La Plata (belonging to the University of La Plata).

Its address is Chile 1856, Code Area 1227, Buenos Aires, and its situated in the South quarter of Buenos Aires and six blocks away from the Houses of Parliament, functioning on its own building of about 400 sq meters comprising administrative offices, library, two main rooms of the Board, an auditorium with capacity for 100 seated persons and of course kitchen and two sanitary facilities.

It also has two telephone lines, 0054-11-4381-7415 and 0054-11-4383-8760 plus e-mail service socmedvetar@ciudad.com.ar and Fax 054-11-4383-8760.

The Society is incorporated under the law since february 26, 1917.

As the Society is a private body its membership is entirely voluntary, now about 900 members; those members belong to what we call chapters of which there are five: Parasitology, History, Small Animalls, Laboratory Animals and Cardiology.

The Society edites the Journal of Veterinary Medicine ("Revista de Medicina Veterinaria") which was founded in 1915 and is now in publishing about six numbers per year.
