Hi all,
You may have gotten an e-mail about this already but we got this today. I know that we have had interesting discussions on this topic. Feel free to disuss this here. I do not want to post the e-mails of the individuals spearheading this on a public forum--PM if you would like contact info.
The North American Veterinary Medical Educational Consortium (NAVMEC) was created to develop a non-proscriptive roadmap for future education that will prepare graduates in the next 20 years to meet the changing and ever-expanding needs of our society. We will not simply focus on clinical abilities, but on the knowledge and skills that are broader and relevant to all entry level veterinary graduates regardless of their career path. In addition, the Consortium is different from prior initiatives (i.e., Foresight, Brakke, Pew, etc) since we are including the testing/accreditation/licensing bodies in the discussion; there is recognition that if our future graduate is created by different education models, we need to make sure that graduate can pass licensing exams.
What will society need from the veterinary profession over the next 20 years?
What skills & competencies will veterinarians need to meet society?s needs?
What skills will be required for specific disciplines in veterinary medicine?
