In 2009, the HKVA will provide more extension services to GZSAVA and SHSAVA in creating more practical veterinary continuous education. There will be a series of small animal oncology and cardiology lectures offered to GZSAVA in Guangzhou, China in 2009.

The HKVA is now the biggest CPD provider in Hong Kong. In 2008, the HKVA Continuing Education Program became officially recognized and accredited by the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Hong Kong. In 2008, the HKVA had our first CPD seminar in Chinese since 1982. In addition to a variety of Small animal veterinary lectures & day workshops, Animal welfare seminars, Equestrian seminars, Veterinary Public Health workshops and field trips have also been organized. We plan to continue to improve and add new elements to our CPD program in the coming future.

The HKVA executive committee members have voiced at the Government Legco meetings, Central Policy meetings, RTHK Ad-Wiser radio program, and recommended members to the government for advisory committee candidates. To promote and voice for the veterinary profession is one of the HKVA most important goals. Dr. Veronica Leong, DVM, MAM, Diplomate ACPV |
