Online course to FAVA members

Starting in September 2014, World Animal Protection is hosting an online course focused on the understanding of the basic concepts behind animal welfare science, ethics and law, and how these concepts are relevant to veterinarians in Asia. The course also looks at how to assess animal welfare and involves a hands on workshop.

The course is hosted in partnership with the following:
· The Federation of Asian Veterinary Associations
· The Center for Veterinary Continuing Education, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Chulalongkorn University
· The College of Veterinary Medicine, University of the Philippines Los Banos
· Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education, the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, the University of Edinburgh

The workhop has been successfully conducted with astrong professional network in ASEAN.

The Federation of Asian Veterinary Association (FAVA) has endorsed the next edition of our ‘Concepts in Animal Welfare’ (CAW) syllabus! This next edition will contain several new modules including Disaster Management and the OIE (World Animal Health Organisation). As FAVA mentions “it is acceptable that this resource is such a great contribution among the veterinary education not only in Asia but also globally”. Once finalised, we are expecting that this new version will be launched at the end of this year.
