Part I. Analysis of AVMA Standards 2. Importance & Characteristics • AVMA is authorized by the U.S. Department of Education as the accrediting body for the 28 schools of veterinary medicine in the United States. • The AVMA educational standards of excellence are recognized worldwide as the "gold standard" in veterinary education. It will be very meaningful for SNU veterinary school to get the official accreditation from AVMA. Importance of AVMA • Relative but not absolute evaluation • Consider creative aspects which are not included in AVMA standards • Consider continuing improvement, as well as current status Although SNU vet school falls behind the US vet school in the absolute standards, it is possible to get the AVMA accreditation if they explain the special status and establish effective strategies.

Conclusion of Evaluation • Needs number of international Faculty/Staff and students • Develop better Curriculum fit for international standard, however, it should be specific and unique at the region • Prepare good rationale for the accreditation

Part II. Other Associations 1. World Veterinary Association (WVA) WVA Accreditation Standards Difference between WVA & AVMA WVA: Minimum requirements for veterinary education AVMA: The highest standard of achievement for veterinary medical education in the United States. • A veterinary education institution must be of university level. • The veterinary curriculum must be under the immediate and sole direction of a veterinarian. • The duration of the veterinary curriculum must of at least four years. A minimum of eight months of instruction is required in each year. • The veterinary curriculum must cover subjects in relation to the various animal species and animal production systems. • Appropriate library and audio-visual facilities as well as sufficient clinical, laboratory and practical training must be provided. • Students must be properly supervised and evaluated throughout the course of their studies. • The research activities must contribute to the acquisition of knowledge, both at the applied and fundamental levels. • The continuing education must be able to assist practicing veterinarians to cope with rapidly changing professional demands. Objectives • To set up a world-wide accreditation system to establish accreditation on a regional basis. • To identify basic requirements for setting up a veterinary school to obtain WVA approval. • To identify areas in which veterinary involvement could be introduced or improved. • To explore possibilities of distance learning and to make recommendations for post-graduate education and professional development. • To suggest to the WVA ways and means by which these tasks could be implemented.

Part II. Other Associations 2. American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Characteristics of AAHA AAHA Accreditation Standards • AAHA is the only organization that accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. and Canada. • AAHA is well known among veterinarians and pet owners for its standards for hospitals and pet health care. Anesthesia (9) Client Service Contagious Disease (1) Continuing Education Dentistry (2) Diagnostic Imaging (5) Emergency/Urgent Care (1) Human Resource Housekeeping & Maintenance (1) Examination Facilities Laboratory (2) Leadership Medical Record Pain Management (2) Patient Care (6) Pharmacy (3) Safety Standards Surgery (11) Characteristics of AAHA Accreditation System • There are more than 900 standards in the 18 areas. • Hospitals do not have to meet every single standard provided. They can pick and choose the standards they are already meeting and improve your practice in other areas if necessary. • There are only 46 mandatory core standards. Activities • The Association develops the following activities to help companion animal practices thrive. - Benchmarks - Business practice standards - Informative publications - Educational programs Note: The areas in bold are those which have mandatory core standards. And the figure in parenthesis are number of mandatory standards Source: www.aahanet.org
3. European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) About the EAEVE • Established in 1988. • 38 vet schools have been accredited (’07.7) • Advisory Committee on Veterinary Training (ACVT, EC Directive 1978/1028/EEC) • Proposed Veterinary specialization • Established European Board of Veterinary Specialist (07. 11) • Consists of 35 Vet Med Associations and 4 Councils (UEVP, UEVH, EASVO, EVERI)
4. The Asian Association of Veterinary Schools (AAVS) About the AAVS • The scope and variety of activities need to be improved to cope with the rapidly changing professional demands in Asia. • Suggestions: - Develop accreditation system for Asian vet schools (by benchmarking AVMA) - Develop accreditation system for Asian animal hospitals (by benchmarking AAHA) - Organize joint symposium on Zoonosis, Food Safety and develop continuing education programs Year of 2001, Seoul, KOREA

Income Generation Detailed methods Method suggestions Tool 3 • Source 1 donation 1.1 gift shop 1.2 lectures, seminars, & continuing education 2.1 consulting, co-research & technology transfer 2.2 • 8 types of income generation methods are proposed for SNU vet school gift aid, donation (gifts of books and manuscripts, artwork, equipment, cash, securities and so on) 1.1 on-line shop (gifts for pets & pet owners, souvenir and so on) 1.2 • Target 2 individual (animal owners/specialists) 2.1 institution (companies/ research institutes) 2.2 renting lecture hall, equipment, laboratory & library service 3.1 using existing school facilities 3.1 Business Development Team to promote the industry collaboration) establishing new business department/company 3.2 3.2 • Strategy 4 publication business (journals and newsletter) 4.1 using existing advertising media 4.1 New strategies (paws for a cause, walk of honor) 4.2 new advertising media 4.2
1. AVMA/AAHA Accreditation System 2. International Scope 3. Effective Cooperation • It is important to benchmark the AVMA and AAHA accreditation standards when we establish a similar association in Asia. • The scope of the association should go beyond individual national level to the Asian region. • Since there are similarities in history and culture, the Asian countries can effectively help with each other, in research, teaching, and setting standards for veterinarian medicine in the Asian region.
