The main activity of the WAHVM is the organization of a biennial international congress.
Past congresses include:
39th WAHVM Congress Istanbul, Turkey. September, 2010
In September 2010, we met in beautiful and historic Antalya, Turkey, and
discussed topics such as the history of veterinary education in Turkey, Europe,
North America, and Latin America; the movement of diseases such as anthrax
and rinderpest in animal populations around the world; how and why animal
protection societies became established; and many other topics that linked the
history of veterinary medicine and animal disease in the Middle East with that of
other parts of the world. We enjoyed very warm hospitality from our hosts, the
Turkish Association for the History of Veterinary Medicine and Professional Ethics.
Discussions continued over raki andbeyaz peynir, and even while swimming in
the Mediterranean Sea! Tours to nearby archaeological sites and a gala banquet
capped off a delightful experience that none of us will ever forget.
