3. A communication from a Local Veterinary Public Health Officer:
Hello everyone!
I am Caroline Boucher, the LoVPHO of IVSA Alfort, France. I am currently writing my research
paper on "The involvement of IVSA in the knowledge and the teaching of "One Health" to
veterinary students".
The IVSA EO Bulletin
March 2015
I designed a survey that I hope will enlighten the situation of One Health in your countries
and role of IVSA (you!) in the development of this concept.
Since you are the link between the SCOH and the members in your faculty, I would love if
you could answer the survey, as soon as possible. The questions are really short, and it
doesn't take any research: I don't want to know what actually happens in your country but
what you know about it at the moment. This means that you need to answer according to
your current knowledge!
Here is the link to the survey:

Thank you so much for helping me and helping one of the first overview works about IVSA!

6. CULTURAL Differences:
During the Exco live meeting we came up with an idea to make a collage on the website of
all of our MOs’ pictures.
As the MOD Team, we will need your help to gather as many pictures as possible from all the
Vet Schools around the world.
The best will be if you could send us 2 photos:
-One where you can decide what you want to put in it.
-One where you can hold a bunner or a piece of paper in which you can write a sentence
translated in your own language.Somthing like:”The IVSA Family is everywhere”.
Please, feel free to be creative you can come up with your sentence.
We would love to see you all on this one big collage in our website; we will be united in our
differences.
We can’t wait to see all the amazing pictures you will send us.

young graduates on management topics and the role of the veterinarian in the world.
Speakers are both local and international and are from all facets of the veterinary world.
Tunisia, known for its rich natural heritage and breath-taking landscape, serves as the host
country for this spectacular event. Starting in Hammamet, Diar la medina, the symposium
