Veterinary education must adapt to the changing demands that veterinary medicine is obligated to meet as it serves the needs of the ever-increasing global society. The world community needs the help of veterinary professionals to produce sufficient amounts of safe food, to control and eradicate the increasingly frequent transboundary transmission of disease, and to improve the health of both man and animals, at a global level as well as locally. In recognition of these mounting responsibilities, especially in the need for veterinarians in rural practice, one key venture in Australia has been the creation of the new veterinary school in Wagga Wagga. This paper describes the School's mission and, in particular, the nature of the new veterinary programme that has been created.
兽医教育必须适应不断变化的需求，因为兽医医学在服务日益增长的全球社会需求时必须满足这些需求。国际社会需要兽医专业人员的帮助，以便在全球和地方层面生产足够数量的安全食品、控制和根除日益频繁的疾病跨境传播，并改善人类和动物的健康。认识到这些日益增加的责任，特别是农村地区对兽医的需求，澳大利亚的一项关键举措是在瓦加瓦加创建了新的兽医学院。本文描述了该学院的使命，特别是所创建的新兽医课程的性质。
