We are an internationally recognized public health organization responsible for the evaluation, approval and/or surveillance of animal drugs, food additives, feed ingredients, and animal devices. We are proactive in our efforts to increase the availability and diversity of safe and effective products that relieve animal pain and suffering, sustain their health, improve animal productivity and do not compromise public health. We adapt, align and utilize our resources wisely and make practical use of state of the art science and technologies to best accomplish our mission. People with expertise in product evaluation, research, surveillance, compliance and other functional areas work cooperatively as an integrated team. We foster open and collegial partnerships with our constituencies to respond to concerns and needs. We maintain a worker-friendly environment, foster initiatives, and value cultural diversity and nourish individual growth and professional development. Everyone exhibits pride in the organization, values and recognizes the contribution and accomplishments of each member of the CVM team, and demonstrates mutual trust and respect. The entire Center pulls in the same direction with purpose, harmony, and grace. We all live by, and our managers exemplify the Center's guiding principles. By recognizing the expertise of everyone, we inspire cooperative decision-making. All are empowered to participate in the development of policy as well as to take responsibility for making decisions within those policy boundaries.
