The Al-Azhar Supreme Council has approved an amendment to the internal regulations of Al-Azhar University’s Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. This change separates the mandatory internship year from the academic curriculum, establishing a five-year study period followed by a distinct internship year. To support this, the faculty is proposing monthly financial stipends for interns, mirroring those provided to human medicine and dentistry students.

Concurrently, veterinary medicine faculties at other Egyptian institutions are conducting academic and practical training. Qena University held orientation sessions for first-year students regarding credit hour systems and study regulations, while Suez Canal University announced specialized training in ultrasound applications for veterinary reproduction to enhance clinical diagnostic skills.
