We are the Washington DC area chapter of ARPAS, the American Registry of Professional Animal Scientists. We were the first national chapter of ARPAS! You do not have to be a member of the national ARPAS society to join this chapter.
ARPAS, is an organization that provides certification of animal scientists through examination, continuing education, and commitment to a code of ethics and disseminates applied scientific information through publication of the peer-viewed journal The Professional Animal Scientist.
