Veterinary medical education : a practical guide / edited by Jennifer L. Hodgson, Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, Jacquelyn M. Pelzer, Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine.
"Veterinary medicine is unique among the health sciences due to the breadth of veterinary practice and the expertise required of day-1 graduates. Since the publication of the 1st edition of this textbook the expectations of our graduates have only expanded and underlie the challenges faced by veterinary medical educators within a changing world, including ongoing advancements in veterinary education and the technology with which this may be delivered. To address this conundrum, Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) has emerged to clearly identifying the day-1 competencies of veterinary graduates and how these can be taught and evaluated. To this end, we have significantly expanded this section of the textbook in this updated edition. Similarly, in this 2nd edition of the textbook we have tried to capture other emerging themes in veterinary education including widening access for admissions, programmatic assessment, academic advising and student support, safe and inclusive learning environments, transition to practice and career opportunities, safety culture, educational leadership and trends in global veterinary medical education. With these new chapters, as well as our updated chapters, we hope to highlight new initiatives, share new ideas, engage educators, and encourage further development so that veterinary medical education continues to advance"-- Provided by publisher.
