Abstract

Veterinary education has been established in many ASEAN countries. The curriculums produce thousands of veterinarians each year to meet the demands of each country. Among ASEAN countries, there are veterinary schools in 8 out of 10 countries, and no veterinary school in Brunei Darussaram and Singapore. Since agriculture is one the main industries in the ASEAN countries, the need for veterinary practices in the treatment, prevention and control animal diseases is necessary. The goal is to establish suitable veterinary curriculum to produce well-trained veterinarians and develop advances in veterinary research. Therefore, each country has its own established DVM programs with different curriculums and training. In order to pursue their goal, consideration of each country’s current status, government policy and funding are necessary in order to establish a more developed program.
