Academy

At WSAVA Academy, we offer a dynamic range of learning content designed to elevate your knowledge and skills. Whether you’re interested in insightful webinars or comprehensive certificate courses, each resource has been carefully crafted in collaboration with WSAVA committees, independent subject matter experts or partners. Our library includes both free and competitively priced options, with many courses also RACE-accredited, ensuring high-quality, globally recognized continuing education for veterinary professionals.

Congress

WSAVA World Congress is an opportunity for our global veterinary community to come together to learn, to share ideas and to forge relationships with colleagues from around the world. World Congress is hosted by a member association with support from the WSAVA leadership team and our professional congress organizer. It rotates through different regions of the world.

Global Guidelines

WSAVA Global Guidelines support companion animal veterinarians by setting standards of care for conditions or issues of global relevance, recommending best practice in each area.

They aim to provide clinicians with clear diagnostic and treatment guidelines, wherever in the world they are in practice.

For those looking to deepen their understanding, related guideline-based courses are also available on WSAVA Academy.
