It will take 10-15 minutes to fill out the form. If you’re in a hurry, you can just fill in the required fields and submit your payment, then return to the “My Membership” page to fill in the other information at any time. Until payment is completed, you will only have access to your user profile and public areas of the site.

Step 2: Fill Out the Form
Fill out the account creation form. Please fill out all fields (If you are an existing member but are creating an online profile for the first time, you may skip the New Member questions at the end). Once you have paid, you will gain full access to the site pending approval of your membership at the next Executive Board meeting. Before beginning, we recommend that you gather the following:
- License numbers and status from all states where you hold/have held a veterinary license.
- The names of two active members who are willing to sponsor you (if you don’t have two sponsors, please contact membership@hawaiivetmed.org for help).
You can come back later to fill these out if you need to, as long as all required (marked with an asterisk) fields are completed now. This information must be provided, however, in order to have your membership approved by the Board and to retain your access. You can pay now and gain access to member features, or wait to submit your payment when your membership has been approved.
