🌍 WVA-Led Study on Veterinary Education Quality Standards Published!
We’re proud to share the publication of a landmark study —
“Developing Quality Standards for Global Veterinary Education Program Assessments: Veterinary College Strategies to Meet Workforce Demands” — now available open access in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education.

Led by Dr Patricia Turner, past President of the World Veterinary Association (WVA), this global study looks at how veterinary colleges are aligning their programmes with real-world workforce needs. It explores how universities prepare graduates for diverse roles in animal health, public health, and food safety — all within the One Health framework.
The study also highlights the importance of developing self-assessment tools for schools in regions without formal accreditation systems, helping them strengthen the quality of their education independently.
The WVA remains committed to supporting high-quality veterinary education worldwide and to developing tools and partnerships that help shape a stronger, more resilient global veterinary workforce. 💪🐾
