📃Scientific paper: Measuring Veterinarian Professions’ Readiness for Interprofessional Learning in a Pre- and Post-Intervention Study Abstract: SIMPLE SUMMARY: Interprofessional learning is increasingly important across all health care sectors, including veterinary medicine. Communication with animal owners and within the team is considered a core competency. As communication courses have been offered mostly on a voluntary basis, we conducted an interprofessional learning course for veterinary practice professions in this study with the aim of integrating such a course in the curriculum in the long term. We measured the readiness using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale before and after the course. While few significant changes emerged in the pre- and post-test comparison, more notable differences were observed in the evaluation of the 19 statements among different professions. ABSTRACT: The integration of interprofessional collaboration is becoming increasingly crucial in veterinary care settings, emphasising the need for interprofessional education (IPE) in veterinary programmes. This study explores the readiness for interprofessional learning among German veterinary students, apprentices and related occupations before and after an interprofessional communication course. It assesses the impact of this course on the participants’ attitudes using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). The course, offered in two iterations, combined asynchronous online modules, live seminars and practical training elements. The RIPLS was administered before and after the course to gauge ...

The Top 5 Hurdles on the Path to Becoming a Veterinary Doctor Becoming a veterinarian involves overcoming several challenges, and the following are five common hurdles that individuals may face on the path to becoming a veterinary doctor: Educational Requirements: Obtaining the necessary education is a significant hurdle. Becoming a veterinarian typically requires a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree, which involves completing a rigorous program at an accredited veterinary school. This educational journey can be demanding both academically and financially. Academic Rigor: Veterinary education involves a challenging curriculum covering various subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and clinical skills. Maintaining a high level of academic performance throughout the program is essential, and students often face intense competition for admission to veterinary schools. Clinical Experience: Gaining hands-on clinical experience is crucial for veterinary students. This often involves working with animals in various clinical settings, such as hospitals or clinics. Securing these experiences, especially in competitive environments, can be a hurdle for aspiring veterinarians. Licensing Examinations: After completing the educational requirements, individuals must pass licensing examinations to practice as a veterinarian. These exams assess the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the safety and competency of veterinary professionals. Preparing for and successfully passing these exams can be a stressful and challenging process. Emotional Challenges: Veterinary medicine involves working with animals in various states of health and illness and dealing with both the joy of helping animals and the emotional toll of difficult cases. The emotional challenges, including compassion fatigue, can be significant hurdles that veterinarians need to navigate throughout their careers. While these hurdles can be demanding, many find the journey to becoming a veterinary doctor rewarding due to the opportunity to contribute to animal health and well-being. Aspiring veterinarians need to stay committed, seek support when needed, and remain passionate about their chosen profession. #VetMedJourney #VeterinaryEducation #DVMChallenge #AnimalHealthCare #VetLifeHurdles

🤝 Managing mentorship: Win some, lose some Mentorship has become the most oft-cited quality sought by young veterinarians when interviewing practices for their first job out of veterinary school.

The disconnect between the knowledge they have amassed and the reality of an exam room conversation is often vast; whether they know they need it or not, mentorship is something we can all agree is a requirement.

On behalf of my co-authors, I am please to share a just published online article - "An imminent need for veterinary medical educators: are we facing a crisis?" Abstract - A potential emerging shortage of veterinary medical educators requires the profession to acknowledge and understand the factors leading to this outcome. Expanding class sizes within existing schools and colleges of veterinary medicine and the expected expansion of new programs seeking AVMA Council of Education accreditation have heightened the need to address an impending shortage of veterinary medical educators. A solution-oriented approach that accurately projects educator workforce needs and identifies factors contributing to the shortage requires effective collaboration across various partnering organizations to develop innovations in pedagogy and educational delivery methods. The veterinary profession must also identify and reduce disincentives that deter students and post-DVM trainees from pursuing careers in education. Finally, efforts at the state and federal level are critical to advocate for financial support and incentives for expansion of the veterinary medical educator workforce. Through these collective approaches and partnerships, the veterinary medical educator workforce can be strengthened to overcome obstacles for educating the next generation of veterinarians to meet societal needs.
