- Abstract: In October 2024, the Asian Association of Veterinary Schools hosted “VetEd Asia 2024,” a symposium to promote veterinary education and collaborations in Asia, held in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. The event was co-organized with the Federation of Asian Veterinary Associations and the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges’ Council on International Veterinary Medical Education and with the support of the World Organisation for Animal Health Regional Representation for Asia and the Pacific. The symposium brought together diverse stakeholders in veterinary education, facilitated networking, and highlighted emergent topics such as education research aimed at improving the quality of education in the region. These collaborative efforts are expected to strengthen veterinary education standards and outcomes, resulting in the development of a stronger veterinary workforce.
