Abstract

This article attempts to look towards new horizons that are visualized in the veterinarian education such as new stages and the growing needs of an interconnected world which asks worldwide competences in order to face it. Regardless of the veterinarian role of taking care animals, the vets must comply with relevant functions in other interconnected fields: public health, research, biomedicine, innocuousness and worldwide food production security and ecosystems’ security. This previous information sets up the importance of rethinking the curricular plans of training in order to unify statements in regard to further professional training necessities, according with the pre-established national regulations, but coherent with the international demands of this profession.
