What Colegio Oficial de Veterinarios de Madrid does

Colegio Oficial de Veterinarios de Madrid (COLVEMA) is the statutory professional association governing veterinary practice in the Madrid region of Spain. Under Felipe Vilas's presidency and supported by 48 staff, it serves as the regulatory, representational, and service body for veterinarians licensed to practice in Madrid, exercising functions delegated by Spanish and regional law including professional oversight, ethical discipline, and member registration.

The organization operates a multi-line service platform built around membership administration, continuing education (delivered via the Colvetcampus online learning platform and in-person training), and the RIAC companion animal identification registry. Its technology footprint comprises a public website, a mobile application, and an electronic headquarters (sede electrónica) for digitized member procedures, all backed by AENOR ISO 9001 quality certification. A non-profit foundation subsidiary, Fundación COLVEMA, extends its educational and animal-welfare activities.

Revenue derives primarily from mandatory member dues, supplemented by training and certification fees, registry service charges, and partner-sourced member benefits. The college has built a multi-sector partner ecosystem spanning financial institutions (Banco Sabadell, Banco Santander), healthcare insurers (ASISA), retail (El Corte Inglés), hospitality (Paradores), certification (Kiwa España, AENOR), and industry associations (AMVAC, COLVET), which collectively subsidize and diversify the value delivered to members without constituting material revenue counterparties.
