Small Animal Medicine
Vision and Values Statement
Programme Educational Philosophy
This programme focuses on an evidence-based approach to Small Animal Medicine equiping veterinarians with the necessary skills to become effective evidence-based practitioners.
The emphasis will be on taking an applied approach using case-based material and appraisal of current thinking.
The aim is to engender a confident approach to clinical cases working to progress their diagnosis and management to a higher level.
90% of the course is on-line with some individual work but an overall emphasis on working as part of a group to enhance peer-to-peer learning.
The approach will be flexible, with approximately 10-12 hours per week in the home environment.
Throughout the programme, students will be expected to undertake self-directed study, receiving peer feedback, guidance from experts in the field and being exposed to the clinical expertise of a variety of veterinary specialists.
Overall, the programme aims to develop independent learners with metacognitive skills, critical thinking skills and a propensity for effective life-long learning and professional development.
