Our college leadership and faculty recently helped set the national standard for the next generation of veterinarians.

This crucial initiative was organized by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), the Philippine Association of Veterinary Medicine Educators (PAVMES), and the Philippine Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA). 🇵🇭
