Continuing Education




Originally from suburban Delaware, Dr. Didehvar (he/him/his) earned his undergraduate degree in animal science at Virginia Tech. He then moved to Philadelphia, where he attended University of Pennsylvania (PennVet) for veterinary school. Dr. Didehvar subsequently completed a one-year general medicine and surgery rotating internship at the Animal Medical Center (AMC) in New York City. Following his passion for cancer treatment, he completed a one-year speciality internship in oncology clinical trials, followed by a three-year medical oncology residency at PennVet.
After completing his residency and achieving board certification, Dr. Didehvar moved to San Francisco to escape the cold winters and explore the outdoors. Dr. Didehvar is particularly interested in treatment of lymphoma/leukemia, anal sac tumors, osteosarcoma, with a focus on patient comfort and quality of life. Outside of work, he enjoys thrift shopping, world travel, leisure reading, and good food.

Dear Colleagues,
As we approach the end of another year, I’ve found myself reflecting on all that our profession — and our local veterinary community — has accomplished in 2025. From inspiring continuing education events and thoughtful discussions at our meetings, to the everyday work happening quietly in clinics across the city, I continue to be amazed by the compassion, adaptability, and commitment that define San Francisco’s veterinary professionals.
The holiday season often reminds us how deeply intertwined our work and our well-being can be. It’s a time when our hospitals are full, our clients are traveling, and our patients are finding new ways to surprise us (often with holiday treats that weren’t meant for them!). I hope that amidst the busy season, you find moments to slow down, to rest, and to celebrate the connections that make this community so special.
I want to take a moment to sincerely thank our SFVMA Board members for their time, ideas, and dedication this year. Their volunteer efforts are what keep this organization vibrant and forward-moving. From organizing speakers and events to supporting advocacy and mentorship, their behind-the-scenes work ensures that the SFVMA continues to serve as a resource and gathering point for all of us. …
The CVMA defends your right to practice by actively representing the veterinary profession on proposed federal and state legislation and regulations at the legislature and the Veterinary Medical Board.
The objectives of the Association shall be to advance the science and art of veterinary medicine in all its branches, including its relationship to public health, the biological sciences and agriculture. The Association shall provide a forum for the discussion of issues of importance to the veterinary profession, and for the development of official position statements. The Association shall be the authorized voice for the profession in San Francisco in presenting its views to government, academia, agriculture, pet owners, the media and other concerned public.
