Abstract
Current situations of veterinary epidemiology education in foreign countries were overviewed based on the information acquired through available materials and personal interviews. Veterinary epidemiology related courses at universities in North America and Europe are mainly established for graduate students, and provide practical skills for data analysis, surveillance, disease control, etc. Many courses aim at training experts on veterinary public health, and veterinary epidemiology is taught as a main subject in veterinary public health programs. Given that many courses has been newly established recently, increased public awareness of food safety and zoonotic diseases these days are considered to boost demands for veterinary epidemiologists worldwide. In order to meet these demands, education on veterinary epidemiology in Japan needs to be strengthened referring to overseas programs.
