Creating the Next Generation of Evidence-Based Veterinary Practitioners and Researchers: What are the Options for Globally Diverse Veterinary Curricula?
An international group with the goal to synthesize evidence to help curriculum designers, course leaders and teachers implement educational approaches that will help inspire future researchers and create evidence-based practitioners was formed and a project undertaken supported by a grant from Council on International Veterinary Medical Education (CIVME). A literature review of the rationale, issues and options for research and EBVM in veterinary curricula was performed as well as semi-structured interviews with veterinary educators from across the CIVME regions. The synthesized data has been used to create a ‘toolbox’ which includes information for educators to consult when reviewing or introducing research and/or evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) in a curriculum.
