Policies, Positions and DiscussionsOver the years the World Veterinary Association has developed and circulated a number of formally adopted policies or position statements. These are supported by a variety of discussion papers on various topics relevant to veterinary medicine in many fields. It is an important task for an association like the WVA to provide leadership through this mechanism. Currently all these documents are available on our web site www.worldvet.org. Please see below. In order to maintain their usefulness to members, it is essential that all such publications be current, accurate and easily accessed by members and the public. As Vice President responsible for policy of the WVA, I have initiated a process of review of this material. All council members have agreed to individually lead the discussion and review of each of the items we currently have. The objective is to determine if each still meets the criteria to continue to represent the position of WVA. Once they have been reviewed we can start a process of reformatting, republishing, revising or discarding them individually, as necessary. Part of the objective of the review is to engage a wide range of members in the discussions. This will bring existing policies into greater visibility and will insure that any changes or amendments meet the broad approval of the veterinary profession. It will also help us identify topics that may require a policy and these can be developed for consideration at up-coming Presidents Assemblies. Currently we are proposing assigning each of them to one of the following categories: Dr. Duane Landals Animal Health Animal Welfare Public/Global Health Education Professionalism Food Safety and Security Environmental Health |
