Contribution of the OIE to the strengthening of vet education Relationship with the minimum requirements for Day 1 Grads. Countries have a variety of educational systems MCVC must be adjusted to reflect the length degree program
and pre- course requirements in each country MCVC assumes that students have a solid understanding of
basic sciences (e.g., chemistry and physics),and Arts and Humanities as required by Vet School.
Should be adapted to the reality of each country`s educational guidelines.
Can be implemented through a twinning program between Vet Schools of member countries.

country, but just 6 000 of them are on regulatory agencies. Number of vet schools grew 6-fold in the country in the last 22
years The growth of the agricultural sector, in the last 20 years
demanded technical support International markets and health certification requests skilled
professionals The regulatory agencies need a specialized professional More internship programs on regulatory agencies
