The history and landscape of academic veterinary medicine in these regions varies a great deal. Records indicate early references to veterinary medicine were made thousands of years ago in regions of what is now India. Most recently, the
City University of Hong Kong has introduced a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine program working in collaboration with the
Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. Within that range of time, more than 100 schools or colleges of veterinary medicine have been established and are now operating throughout China, India and Southeast Asia.
As is the case in many areas of the world, there is some variance in the quality and sophistication of many of these programs. But many have embraced the One Health concept and, considering the critical role veterinary medicine is playing in the world today, are looking at ways to elevate the quality of their programs and improve academic veterinary medicine, thereby strengthening the foundation of the profession it serves. One way that's being done is through the development of partnerships and increased collaboration with European and U.S. institutions.

Annual VetEd Conference Held in Liverpool
|
The annual VetEd conference was held at the
University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom from July 5-7, 2017. The meeting was hosted by Kieron Salmon and his team, with over 150 delegates representing veterinary schools from across the globe attending the event.
VetEd was established in 2009 by a group of enthusiastic educators working in veterinary schools in the UK. The annual conference aims to showcase the work of those involved in all aspects of veterinary education and allows delegates (faculty, students and practitioners) to share ideas, innovations and best practices in an open and friendly atmosphere.
Particular highlights at VetEd 2017 were the varied schedule of
interactive posters, with the number reaching nearly a hundred this year. Of particular note was the quality of the posters, particularly those presented by students. A whole theme was dedicated to presentations on wellbeing and the workshop sessions included motivational interviewing, compassion fatigue and compassion resilience, and educational research techniques. A new feature this year was a debate 'Transition into the workplace - is it the job of the vet schools or the profession?' And delegates also enjoyed the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour!
VetEd has rotated around all of the veterinary schools in the United Kingdom and Ireland and will be presented at Utrecht in The Netherlands in July 2018 (the VetEd team hope to see some of you there). Additionally, 'VetEd Down Under' is starting up soon in Australasia.
