  • Mission [1]
    • FDA’s strategic priorities in responding to the public health challenges of the 21st century are to advance regulatory science and innovation; strengthen the safety and integrity of the global supply chain; strengthen compliance and enforcement activities to support public health; expand efforts to meet the needs of special populations; advance medical countermeasures and emergency preparedness; advance food safety and nutrition; promote public health by advancing the safety and effectiveness of medical products; establish an effective tobacco regulation, prevention, and control program; and manage for organizational excellence and accountability. The Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee supports FDA's strategic priorities by advising the Commissioner or designee in discharging responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure public and animal health by approving safe and effective animal drugs and, as required, any other product for which the Food and Drug Administration has regulatory responsibility.
