The American Veterinary Medical Association has developed a series of financial education videos to help new and recent veterinary grads gain a deeper understanding of finance management and advance financial literacy and overall well-being within the veterinary community.
“Managing Your Finances” videos are available at VetVance.com.
The VetVance video series is comprised of five learning modules:
- Debt-to-Income Ratio – Debt-to-income ratio calculator
- Managing My Debt – Debt management and budget optimization
- Investment Value of My DVM Degree – Veterinary degree return on investment calculator

The VetVance modules are among many financial resources already developed by the AVMA.
