AAVMC Policy

Accreditation of Foreign Programs

 
The Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) recognizes the importance of the globalization of veterinary medicine as part of the expansion of global linkages and integration of technologies that connect people around the world. The globalization of veterinary medical education includes the free flow of information and the adoption of universal standards to prepare veterinarians to meet the complex challenges of protecting human and animal health on a global scale.
 

AAVMC supports the accreditation of foreign veterinary medical colleges that meet or exceed the standard requirements of an accredited or approved college of veterinary medicine as developed by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education.

 
AAVMC supports the development of foreign accreditation systems as part of a broader worldwide effort to improve the quality of life for people and animals by advancing veterinary medical education.
