Matthew Edson, DVM, MBA, CVPM, MRCVS, member of New Jersey State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners

Edson has been appointed by Governor Phil Murphy to the New Jersey State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, the New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (NJVMA) recently announced. Edson, who owns a mixed animal practice in South Jersey, is the founding dean of the Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine at Rowan University in NJ. From 2019 to 2021, he served as NJVMA president. During this time, he played a central role in helping veterinary personnel be categorized as “essential personnel,” which allowed practices to remain open under safe conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Murphy also appointed him to the New Jersey One Health Task Force, and he has been involved in leadership roles with the American Veterinary Medical Association.

As an advocate for the advancement of veterinary medicine, education, and public health, Edson was named a Top Veterinarian by South Jersey Magazine in 2017 and was voted Best Veterinarian in Burlington County by Burlington County Times readers from 2018 to 2022. From 2022 through 2025, Edson also appeared on the NJBIZ Health Care Power 50 list, which features top influencers in health care in NJ.

“NJVMA congratulates Dr Edson on this prestigious appointment and looks forward to his continued contributions to the veterinary profession and the greater medical community,” the NJVMA wrote in the news release announcing Edson’s appointment.1

Christina Moore, DVM, MBA, senior vice president of clinical leadership, IndeVets

Earlier this month, the veterinarian staffing company IndeVets promoted Moore to senior vice president of clinical leadership. Moore, who has more than 13 years of experience in the veterinary industry, will lead the company’s clinical leadership team and spearhead hiring and veterinarian-support initiatives across the US in her new role.

Moore first joined IndeVets in 2023. During this time, she contributed to the development of programs that foster collaboration, growth, and mentorship among veterinarians.

“Christina’s leadership has fostered a culture where excellence in care and professional fulfillment go hand in hand,” Michael Raphael, CEO and co-founder of IndeVets, said in a company news release.2 “She is exceptionally well-positioned to lead the next chapter of clinical excellence at IndeVets.”
