Veterinaries have access to a great variety of texts, journals, and continuing education opportunities to keep them on top of the tremendous technological advances in clinical care and preventive medicine.

- The important global trends with implications for veterinary medicine.
- Different cultural attitudes towards the human use of animals, their impact on the human-animal relationship, and the challenges this poses for veterinarians.
- The role of livestock in food security, rural development, and sustainable agriculture and the opportunities for veterinarians to improve the lives of people who depend on animals around the world.
- The relationship of global environmental change to animal health and production.
- The emerging field of conservation medicine and the important role of veterinarians in protecting biodiversity and conserving wildlife.
- A global perspective on veterinary service delivery and the opportunities and challenges for improving animal health care worldwide.
- The growth of international trade, its relation to food safety and animal health, and its impact on animal agricultural and veterinary medicine.
- The growing risk of foreign animal disease, the national and international institutions involved in animal disease control, and the role of the private practitioner in controlling foreign animal disease.
- Nontraditional career paths for veterinarians interested in working internationally and how to identify and prepare for such international career opportunities.
