"Challenges and innovations in teaching veterinary surgery"

Educators of veterinary students are faced with the daunting task of ensuring new graduate veterinarians are ‘practice-ready’, and imparting appropriate surgical proficiency is perhaps one of the most intimidating goals. Advanced training following graduation can take place in widely varying forms, levels of intensity and complexity, ranging from short courses to residency and fellowship programs. All of these scenarios are associated with unique sets of challenges. This plenary lecture will discuss these challenges, including methods of measuring technical proficiency, concurrent pressures on students and teachers in veterinary school, rapidly evolving and expanding knowledge, ethics of different methods of teaching, client expectations, ethics of learning ‘on the job’, and quality of teaching. An introduction to current and future innovations will also be covered, such as use of technology for student-teacher interactions and surgical simulation.
