(2006), National Taiwan Univ. (2007), Bogor Agricultural Univ./ IVA (2008), Seoul National Univ. (2009), Univ. of Putra Malaysia/MVA (2010), Tribhuvan Univ /NVA (2011), Mahidol Univ. (2012) and Singapore Zoo/SVA (2013); some of these meetings were in collaboration with local veterinary associations. In every meeting there were many student participants who were interested in wildlife conservation and “One Health”, and who gave oral or poster presentations, as well as student volunteers from the host universities. This time, as a new challenge, ASZWM is arranging an educational pre-congress workshop for local and overseas students as well as local zoo veterinarians. ASZWM and Vietnam National University of Agriculture is arranging this pre-congress workshop with support from the Federation of Asian Veterinary Association, Gifu University and OIE. We believe these meetings can provide high-quality one-health education, especially in eco- system conservation and veterinary science, to local students. Based on previous open discussions in Singapore on “How to collaborate with Wildlife Diseases Association (WDA) to establish a wildlife diseases surveillance system in Asia by ASZWM”, the ASZWM board joined the 63th WDA meeting and agreed to start each discussion for further collaboration. Future collaborations between ASZWM and WDA will mutually benefit the wildlife diseases surveillance, especially the exchange of information on infectious diseases. As a first step, the ASZWM board has arranged the ASZWM-WDA joint session for “Wildlife Diseases Surveillance in Asia” in this meeting. From 2015, ASZWM will be renamed “Asian Society of Conservation Medicine (ASCM)” to promote collaboration with ecology departments and human medicine. To promote the “One Health” concept in Asian wildlife conservation networking, the ASZWM board has continued discussions since its meeting in Singapore, and approved the change of name of our society from Asian Society of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (ASZWM) to Asian Society of Conservation Medicine (ACCM) in this 7th meeting in Vietnam. This change of name will encourage the participation of dedicated people from ecology, human medicine and biology who are in charge of conservation of eco-system and wildlife. As for our diploma system, the Asian College of Conservation Medicine (ACCM), established in 2012, we currently have 25 diploma members and formed an organization to sustain the Asian Society of Conservation Medicine. The college will discuss our strategy and propose various ideas for the development of the Asian Society of Conservation Medicine. In 2015, ten years will have passed since our first Asian Meeting of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, only one meeting for conservation medicine in Asia, which started in Kasetsart University in Bangkok in 2005. Let us get together at the annual meeting of ASCM 2015 (in Yangon Zoo, Myanmar) to celebrate our 10th year anniversary. Thank you again for your cooperation. “A discussion about collaboration with WDA in Singapore 2013” “Award of diploma at the ASZWM meeting in Singapore” 2 TITLE PAGE 14th October Pre-Congress Workshop at Vietnam National University of Agriculture (Hanoi) 0900-1200 “The Significance of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (Conservation Medicine) in Asia” Chaired by Dr. Junpei Kimura and Dr. Nabin Rayamajhi OPENING REMARKS Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, VNUA Dr.Achariya Sailasuta, FAVA Secretory General LECTURES 1.
