In episode 71 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're following on from last week's feline focus and taking a look at lower airway diseases in our canine counterparts.  We might not see them as often, and they might appear more stable - well, most of the time - but these cases are anything but boring, requiring lots of nursing care, both in the clinic and long-term. Just like our asthmatic cats, it's good quality nursing that makes all the difference, and to give that great care, we need to understand the lower airway diseases we see, and the impact they have on our patients - which is exactly what we're covering in this episode. --- More free ways to learn with me:

In episode 70, we're talking about some of the most difficult patients we see - dyspnoeic cats. Yep, there's nothing like that dyspnoeic cat emergency - they arrive SO stressed, and it feels almost counterintuitive that staying AWAY from them is actually the thing that helps them most in those early stages. The majority of dyspnoeic cats we see have feline asthma - a form of lower airway disease. This disease is pretty misunderstood and is far more complex than ‘just' being asthma, so in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're looking at exactly what it is and how to manage these patients confidently and calmly from start to finish. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

If you've ever seen an overweight Yorkie honking like a goose, then there's a good chance you've dealt with tracheal collapse before.

In episode 67 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking all about a very common, very frustrating, and in my opinion a very under-appreciated condition - chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis is one of those conditions that can easily fly under the radar - we often think lots about nursing our cat ‘flu cats for example, but there are many patients who suffer with chronic nasal disease that can significantly impact quality of life. There's quite a bit we can do to support these patients long term, and to do that well, we first need to understand what chronic rhinitis is, how it affects our patients, and how we treat it, which is exactly what you'll find in this episode.  Plus, I'll leave you with 5 key tips to nurse these patients confidently. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking about a really common, commonly misunderstood and often frustrating disease - feline respiratory disease complex, aka FRDC or cat ‘flu. When I think about those ‘flu cases, I think back to sweating in PPE in a makeshift isolation room in my earlier nursing days, spending countless hours cleaning nasal discharge, creating steam baths outside of kennel doors, and tempting tiny kittens to eat. This is a disease that is MADE for nursing - there is so much we can do to support these patients. And as always, giving that great care starts with understanding what ‘flu is, and how we manage it - which is exactly what's waiting for you inside this episode. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

Nasal disorders are common in practice, and the nursing care these patients need is vast. From those snuffly cat ‘flu patients who are really miserable, dehydrated and anorexic, to lifelong diseases like rhinitis, there's a lot to think about when managing these patients. In episode 65 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we'll introduce the common nasal disorders seen, the problems they cause, and the nursing care patients with them benefit from - and then we'll dive deeper into common nasal diseases in the next few episodes. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

If you've ever seen an older Labrador struggling to breathe, a Retriever making that distinctive “roaring” noise, or an older dog with noisy breathing and vocal changes, there's a good chance you've encountered laryngeal paralysis. This disease - as the name suggests - affects the larynx, preventing it from opening properly and restricting airflow. In mild cases, it causes noisy breathing and exercise intolerance, but in severe cases, it leads to life-threatening respiratory obstruction. But what else do we need to know about laryngeal paralysis? How can we stabilise these patients in an emergency, treat them effectively, and provide that all-important nursing care? That's exactly what we're covering in episode 64 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

In episode 63 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're tackling a big topic and increasingly common problem in practice: Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). If you've ever worked with a snorty Frenchie, a struggling Pug, or a Bulldog that just can't seem to catch their breath, you'll know first-hand the issues that BOAS can cause.  This condition has become increasingly common with the rise in popularity of brachycephalic breeds. And while those squishy faces might be seen as cute, they come with serious anatomical challenges that impact breathing, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life. But how can we help these patients, and what do we need to know about caring for them? Well, it starts with understanding exactly what BOAS is, why it happens, and how it impacts our patients - which is exactly what we're diving into in this episode. --- Resources mentioned in this episode:

Gastrointestinal neoplasia is something we see very commonly in practice - but what tumours do our patients get, how do we diagnose them, and how can we support these patients as veterinary nurses? And, of course - what skills can we use in the process? In episode 61 of the medical nursing podcast, I'm joined by Inge Breathnach, a PGCert and VTS holder in Oncology. Together, Inge and I are breaking down exactly how we manage these often challenging patients so you can care for them confidently in practice. ---

Does every constipated patient just need a bit more lactulose?! Not really. There are a TON of different causes of constipation - and actually, it can lead to pretty significant consequences for our patients, like obstipation, megacolon, abdominal pain, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte abnormalities and much more. Giving great care to these patients includes providing appropriate nutritional support, maintaining hydration, performing enemas where needed, careful monitoring and supportive +/- postoperative care, and client support - all skills we're great at and ones you'll feel confident using after this podcast episode. ---

Ever seen a patient need HUGE amounts of their intestine removed because of an awful foreign body? Or an intusussception? If so, you may well have come across short bowel syndrome before (and if you haven't, bank this info, because you'll likely need it in the future). Short bowel syndrome is a severe disorder that occurs due to massive intestinal resection. These patients can't absorb water, electrolytes and nutrients from their food, causing significant changes in their hydration, electrolyte and nutritional status - amongst many other things. They're incredibly challenging to manage, and they need intensive nursing care - which gives us a LOT of ways to help them, and many skills we can use in the process. In episode 59 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're diving into exactly what SBS is, how it impacts our patients, and (most importantly), how we can give them great nursing care. ---

What happens when our patient's pancreas doesn't work properly?! Well - they get exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, aka EPI.  This is a disease where the pancreas can't make and release digestive enzymes normally, meaning our patients don't properly digest and absorb nutrients from their food. The result? Polyphagia, weight loss, VERY poor body condition, awful faeces and many vitamin deficiencies amongst other things… but with proper nutrition, prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment, they can do very well. In episode 58 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're diving deep into exactly what EPI is, how it affects our patients, and how we can help give great care to these patients as nurses and technicians. ---

Today, we're talking about quite possibly the worst GI disease of them all - parvovirus. Yep, these patients are often a winning combination of tiny, horrifically behind on fluids, poorly tolerant of nutrition and dealing with severe gastrointestinal signs. There's a lot we need to do to support these patients, and we're diving into all of it in this episode. ---

In episode 52 of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're talking all about managing GI ulcers. From simple NSAID overdoses to patients with nasty ulcerative chronic GI diseases, we see this disease more often than you might think - and in severe cases these patients can present with marked anaemia from GI blood loss, (even requiring transfusions) or gastrointestinal perforation and sepsis! Today, we're diving in to what causes GI ulceration, the impact it has on our patients, and the four things we can do to give great care to them as vet nurses.  ---

Gastric dilation-volvulus (GDV) patients are often a real challenge to nurse. They're often severely unwell on presentation and there is a high risk of postoperative complications. But there are also lots of skills we get to use when caring for these patients! Giving them great care starts with understanding how GDVs occur and their impact on our patients, which is exactly what we'll be diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

In episode 50 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're talking about one of the most challenging oesophageal disorders to manage - oesophageal foreign bodies. Patients with oesophageal foreign bodies can vary from being well at the time of presentation to ones with significant, chronic obstructions where patients are significantly unwell at the time of presentation.  Removal is risky, and complications like pneumothorax are very real, but by understanding the primary considerations for these patients, we can start preparing for them, minimising complications, and giving even better care. ---

Ever seen a megaoesophagus patient before? These patients can be really tough to nurse - they've often got severe regurgitation and aspiration pneumonia, and alongside assisting with diagnosis and providing nutritional support, need intensive respiratory support too. Giving great care to these patients starts with understanding what megaoesophagus is, the types we see, and how we treat and nurse these patients - which is exactly what we're talking about in episode 49 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

We know that gastrointestinal diseases are amongst the most common diseases we see in practice. And giving great care to these patients starts with understanding how the GI tract works, which is precisely what we're exploring in the first episode of our brand-new series on GI disease. ---

Today is a first for the podcast - we're using a case study to discuss how we can provide even better care to our haematology patients! From performing initial diagnostic tests to running a blood donation and transfusion and everything in between, we'll break it all down in this episode - so you can walk away and give confident care to your own haematology patients. ---

Let me ask you this. Who does the blood transfusions in your practice? The vets? Or the nurses?  Yes, it will be us monitoring the patient and collecting the vitals, but who… Calculates the blood? Prepares it? Performs the donations? Cares for the donors? If it's not the nurses, I'm going to suggest it should be - because there's no reason for us not to do all of these things (as long as we run our plan past the vets and ensure they agree before going ahead!) In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we're taking the confusion out of transfusions, so you can confidently care for your haematology patients in practice. ---

Anticoagulant rodenticide toxicity is one of the most common toxicities reported in dogs and can cause severe bleeding if not identified and managed quickly. These patients often present as emergencies and can require intensive treatment and nursing care - and how to deliver that care is exactly what we'll be diving into in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

Got a young patient who just won't stop bleeding from their microchip site, vaccine site, or gingiva after deciduous tooth loss? There's a good chance they have a coagulopathy. We see two types of coagulopathy in practice - congenital and acquired - and it's those congenital ones we're discussing today. It's important we pick up on these as soon as possible in the patient's life, to prevent severe haemorrhage at the time of neutering or during other procedures. Identifying congenital coagulopathies starts with understanding what they are, and how they impact our patients - which is exactly what you'll be able to do after this episode. ---

Picture this: you're on the admit shift on a Tuesday morning, and your next patient is a 6-month-old Doberman for routine neutering. Is there anything you'd be particularly worried about before surgery? Is there anything you'd discuss with the client or any tests you'd speak to your vet about? Dobermans are a classic breed affected by von Willebrand's disease, which is a disease that sits somewhere between thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. If they have it, bleeding is a very real risk. Thankfully, if we know beforehand, we can implement strategies to manage the patient's disease and prevent severe haemorrhage. That starts with understanding von Willebrand's disease and how it works, which is exactly what we're covering in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

Picture this. You're working the Saturday morning shift, you're wrapping things up ready to close, and your vet brings through a patient from consults. The patient is a 6-year-old cocker spaniel, and they've got a history of lethargy and exercise intolerance, progressing to melena, haematuria and bruising in the last 2 days. You examine them with the vet and find they're dull, tachycardic and have bounding pulses. What's going on, and most importantly, what are you going to do about it? Well - they have some kind of bleeding disorder, and based on these signs, there's a good chance they have very low platelet levels.  But why does this happen, and how can we support these patients? We'll dive into all of that in this episode. ---

When I say ‘IMHA', what comes to mind? For me, it's the most challenging case I have ever cared for: a patient who had such severe anaemia that their jaundice made them neurological, earning them a few days on a propofol CRI due to seizures. Whilst not every IMHA case is like this—thankfully—these patients do need intensive nursing care and monitoring, and with this, there are many skills we can use when caring for them. But to do that, we first need to understand IMHA, how it affects our patients, and how we manage it—exactly what we're covering in this episode. ---

As pets occupy increasingly important roles in our family lives, people are investing more than ever in maintaining their health. The veterinarian has become the furry child's pediatrician. Also, pet parents look for the same wholesome nutrition in the pet food aisle as in the grocery aisle. They are also starting to add healthy supplements to the food bowl. Much as they do for parents and children, animal-specific supplements help enhance pet health, quality of life, and longevity.Among those healthy supplements pet parents give their four-legged family members, mushrooms are now the fastest-growing category. As a result, pet parents are seeing great results in their pets' health when they share their healthy meals and healthy supplements with them.Are you looking to add healthy mushrooms to improve your pet's health? Are you confused by all the different types of mushrooms and mushroom products available? In this episode, we outline the basics of mushroom supplements, which ones to consider first, for what purpose, and ideally in what format.Guest: Joni Kamlet is a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT) and a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Assistant (CCRA).She also has her certification in Applied Clinical Nutrition (for humans). Joni witnessed the benefits of raw feeding, homeopathy and herbs in 1996 when her dog was diagnosed with mammary cancer (and Joni was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at the same time). Both of their positive responses to natural therapies started Joni on her holistic path, and she has been working in the field of integrative veterinary medicine ever since. Joni is passionate about holistic options for both animals and humans. She is now embracing her mushroom passion in her position as Director of Veterinary Education and Outreach for Real Mushrooms.Listeners can save 30% off when using the code: Forever30 at check out when visiting Realmushrooms.com

Anaemia is probably the most common haematologic disease that we see - so it's vital we understand why it occurs, how it affects our patients, and what we need to do when nursing these patients. In episode 40 of the Medical Nursing Podcast, we're chatting all about what causes anaema, how we classify it, what changes we see in our results, and how we treat these patients - so that you can provide the best possible nursing care. ---

How often do you look at blood smears in practice - and how confident do you feel looking at what you see? Blood smears are an excellent skill for us to learn as nurses - there's no reason we can't look at these, identify normal and abnormal cells, and perform cell counts!  It's not ‘just a vet's job', and the only way to feel more confident knowing what you're looking at is to look at more and more smears and get comfortable with what's normal and what isn't. But before we start looking at smears, we need to know what cells we're looking at and refresh ourselves on what they do - exactly what we're covering in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

Ever seen a patient present with collapse, disorientation and seizures which resolves almost immediately? There's a good chance they could have insulinoma - a pancreatic tumour causing sudden hypoglycaemia. So how do we treat and nurse these patients - and what complications do we run into during and after surgery? We're discussing it all in episode 38 of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

Ever heard of a pheochromocytoma before? Nor had I before I walked into referral… but in all honesty, they're some of the riskiest cases we see. These can be scary, as they randomly secrete sometimes large volumes of adrenaline and noradrenaline - causing life-threatening tachycardia and hypertension. They're especially challenging cases when it comes to surgery - and we'll chat all about why that is, and how we manage these cases, in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

In this episode of the Veterinary Viewfinder, co-hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and registered veterinary technician Beckie Mosser tackle a critical but often overlooked issue in the veterinary profession: climate change.  -- As human medical schools in the United States and worldwide begin to integrate climate change into their curricula, the veterinary field needs to catch up. Dr. Ward and Beckie discuss the growing importance of addressing climate change within veterinary education and continuing professional development.  -- They explore how environmental changes are already impacting animal health and what the veterinary community can learn from advancements in human medicine. This conversation challenges veterinary professionals to consider the future of our profession - and planet - in a rapidly changing world and the steps needed to prepare for tomorrow's health challenges.  -- Join us this week to understand why climate change should be on every veterinary agenda and how to advocate for its inclusion in veterinary curricula. -- If you enjoy our podcast, please leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or your preferred platform.

Today on the medical nursing podcast, we're talking all about parathyroid disorders - diseases of the parathyroid gland affecting calcium balance within the body.  Though we don't see these as commonly as other endocrine diseases, it's still really important we understand these disorders - especially hypoparathyroidism, which can cause life-threatening hypocalcaemia. By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident caring for these patients. ---

If I say ‘hypothyroid', what comes to mind?  For me, it's a vision of a quiet little mini schnauzer, with hair loss and awful skin - but the reality is hypothyroidism causes a LOT more changes for our patients. To understand how we treat and nurse our hypothyroid dogs, we first need to understand hypothyroidism and its impact on our patients—which is exactly what you'll find waiting for you in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

We've all seen those older cats who come in with the body condition score of a hat-rack and an appetite that rivals ours at the end of a busy shift. Yep, that's right - they're hyperthyroid. Hyperthyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy seen in cats, so we know we will be treating and nursing these patients very commonly. But to do that effectively, we need to understand what hyperthyroidism is and how it affects our patients. And that's exactly what we'll be discussing in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

This week, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak are joined by Dr. Ryan Appleby, co-founder of Obi Veterinary Education, to discuss the transformative role of microlearning in veterinary education. Dr. Appleby explains how delivering educational content in short, manageable segments can significantly enhance retention and better fit into the busy schedules of veterinary professionals.

Joni is passionate about holistic options for both animals and humans. She is now embracing her mushroom passion in her position as Director of Veterinary Education and Outreach for Real Mushrooms. Talking Points:   -Do veterinarians learn about holistic medicine in vet school?   -One thing I always find fascinating is that even the most health-conscious humans (including holistic practitioners like chiropractors, acupuncturists, integrative MD's) seem to have a disconnect between how they take care of themselves, and what they are feeding their pets. They follow the veterinarian's recommendation to give dry and highly inflammatory kibble every day for the lifetime of the pet. We wouldn't do that to ourselves, but this is how most people are feeding their pets. -There's an epidemic of cancer and autoimmune disease in our companion animals, and I feel strongly it's directly related to not only what we are feeding them, but the high doses of toxins, endocrine disruptors, etc. in their environment.-How do mushrooms fit into veterinary practice?-What supplements should every veterinarian have in their toolbox?-What applications do mushrooms have for pets? -Do mushrooms have any contraindications with other medicines? -Are there certain supplements or foods that pets should be taking proactively/ lifelong? -What are some basic holistic strategies for aging pets?-What are the main active ingredients of medicinal mushrooms?Listeners can save 30% off when using the code: Forever30 at check out when visiting Realmushrooms.com

Loyal for Dogs (Loyal / Cellular Longevity) is redefining the paradigm of aging in dogs. NAD+ supplements currently on the market claim to "slow the effects of aging," and to "support health as [dogs] age," but they do not promise to extend lifespan. Nor are they FDA-approved. Loyal emphasizes that aging is the primary modifiable risk factor for most degenerative and chronic diseases in dogs. Their mission? To target the aging process itself, opening doors to healthier, longer lives for dogs. At WVC 2024, I had the chance to chat with Dr. Brennen McKenzie, Loyal's Head of Veterinary Education, and he recently joined me on Petworking to continue the discussion. We talked about the 3 pioneering drugs targeting critical molecular pathways associated with aging that Loyal has in the pipeline. These include: - LOY-002 for senior dogs (10+ years old), focusing on metabolic health to extend lifespan. - LOY-001 & LOY-003 for larger dogs (40+ lbs), targeting hormonal overexpression of IGF-1, which Loyal has linked to the shorter lifespans experienced by large dogs. Loyal is seeking FDA approval for all of these products, and by 2025, Loyal might be able to market LOY-001 under conditional approval, as the FDA has already granted "reasonable expectation of effectiveness." That means by next year, there is a significant chance that if you are a large dog owner, your veterinarian could prescribe a product that can actually extend your dog's life.

On today's episode Dr. Sam sits down with Board certified nutritionist Dr. Susan Wynn, DVM DACVIM (nutrition) who is the Senior Director of Scientific Affairs for Instinct,   and Stephanie Striar, CVT  who is the the Veterinary Education & Training Manager for Instinct (who also just completed her post graduate degree in animal nutrition) to learn about raw pet food.  We discuss the misconceptions of what a raw diet is (and what is should NOT be), the importance of still being balanced and complete, as well as discussing food safety. We delve into what brought Dr. Wynn and Stephanie to raw food, and discuss some of the science behind the benefits of raw. You do not want to miss this one!

In today's episode of That Vet Life, Dr. Moriah McCauley interviews her former adviser and Clinical Skills lecturer from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Caroline Mosley. Caroline Mosley started her career as a Veterinary Nurse at a practice on the west coast of Cumbria in 1998 after being raised around animals. Caroline went on the travel and work in Australia for a year before moving to Edinburgh to join the Hospital for Small Animals, working in various departments including surgery, exotics, ICU, and medicine. Before returning to the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies to take up teaching, Caroline worked in the pet food and pharmaceutical industry working as a territory manager for leading small animal, equine, and farm animal products covering Scotland. Now a Clinical Skills Teaching Fellow at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Caroline teaches a variety of practical and clinical skills to undergraduates as well as leading on their Objective, Structured Clinical Exams. In the episode, Dr. Moriah McCauley asks Caroline how teaching has changed over the last ten years from gender ratios to student expectations.

This week I want to start a conversation, a discussion – with YOU.   I want to know what YOUR thoughts, opinions and ideas are on a letter I received over the weekend.It's an Open Letter written by a practicing veterinarian in a small town who tragically lost her veterinarian husband to suicide three years ago.   The full text of Dr Jasmin's letter is on episode 18's Paws Claws Wet Noses show notes page for this episode so you can read it yourself.It's written to the Veterinary Practitioners Boards of Australia, the Australian Veterinary Association and anyone else who cares to read on… and is sent by Dr Jasmin Klocker – a mixed practice veterinarian in NSW.The Australian CVE – the Centre for Veterinary Education - will invite comments from the AVA and the Veterinary Boards which will be published in Issue 303 in June 2021. So if you want to contribute  / participate in that conversation you can virtually head over the Ditch and do that there.In this letter Dr Jasmin shares how it is for her working in Australia.  It's because her experiences didn't sound that much different to what life on this side of the Tasman is like for veterinarians here in Godzone Aotearoa New Zealand, that I wanted to share this with you.Also, because I was sent a copy of this letter – by a practicing kiwi companion animal veterinarian, and Dr Jasmin also gave me her permission, I believe it's definitely worth bringing to the attention of veterinarians on this side of the Tasman.  VetStaff leading veterinary sector recruitment in New Zealand | veterinarians | locums | nurses

Noter og PDF på: SiVP.dk/39 Peter Holm har haft en meget forskelligartet karriere og sidder nu som studieleder og har gjort det siden 2009. Han er i øjeblikket ved at gøre en master uddannelse i ”Veterinary Education” færdig.  Pligt til at gøre sig umage Peter mener at man som studerende har pligt til at gøre sig umage. Det betyder ikke at man skal gå ned med stress, men man skal regne med at bruge den nødvendige tid på sine studier. Der opstår på samme tide både et præstationsræs og en tendens til at man ikke prioriterer sit studie. Peter kan forstå at nogle studerende føler sig meget pressede, men hvis man vælge fritid og ferie i stedet for at bruge ca. de 40 timer om ugen, der forventes, skal man også tage konsekvensen. Er man bekymret og bliver stresset over man kunne nå det hele, bør man prioritere anderledes, mener Peter. Elever, der går i skole  Nogle studerende ser stadig sig selv som ”elever”, der går i skole, frem for at se sig som studerende. Det skærer i undervisernes hjerte, fortæller Peter. Det er de studerende eget ansvar at få stoffet lært. Dog påtaler Peter en fejl ved det nuværende curriculum, hvor den fragmenterede læringen bliver for overfladisk. De studerende har altså svære ved at få fundamentet i HVORFOR, de lærer stoffet med. I stedet lærer de kun for at gå til eksamen. Alle undersøgelser viser at det er den ringeste form for læring, fortæller Peter. 90 % af dyrlægerne i praksis synes at veterinæruddannelsen i nogen grad eller i høj grad ruster de studerende til livet i praksis, oplyser Peter. De studerende er mindst lige så gode som tidligere, men de mangler måske selvtilliden til at tro på det. Den mangel på at turde nogle ting selv, er et skift fra tidligere og måske kunne uddannelse være bedre på dette punkt. Det kan måske ændres ved at hjælpe de studerende til at stå mere på egne ben og prøve nogle ting af, frem for at skubbe frem og ”curle” dem, siger Peter. På top 10 i verden Vi har et fantastisk dyrehospital, som er i verdensklasse, mener Peter. Der er i princippet også patienter nok, selvom det ikke altid føles sådan for de studerende. Der uderover kan studerende benytte sig af at have praktik i sommerferien og ude i klinisk praksis. Peter Holms ønske til fremtiden Peter peger på at nogle fag i starten af studiet er både meget tunge med øvelser og med teoretisk stof. Det har den effekt at nogle studerende vælger at springe dele over, som er helt kritisk at de har styr på i fagene lige efter. Den mangel er katastrofal for de studerendes læring, og det vil Peter gerne ændre på. Samtidig vil Peter gerne skære lidt ned på differentieringerne og bruge tiden på mere praktisk undervisning med for eksempelvis cases, der går på tværs af fagene  Peter ønsker sig også at studiet selv mere kan bestemme over, hvor meget specialerne skal fylde, således at de kan lave i samarbejde med erhvervslivet og der kan tages cases ind fra det virkelige liv.

What are human factors, non-technical skills and professionalism? Human factors, non-technical skills and professionalism are concepts whose importance in clinical practice is increasingly being recognised and appreciated. So far more attention has been paid to these concepts in the field of human medicine but some discussion is now occurring in veterinary medicine too. In this podcast which features Liz Chan we discuss these concepts explaining what they mean and why they are relevant to clinical practice and/or patient safety. Liz is a specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia and currently works at the RVC as a Lecturer in Veterinary Education. Find out more about CPD from the RVC featuring Liz here.

Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, durch einen Vergleich des Studiums der Tiermedizin in München und in Liège die Gemeinsamkeiten und die Unterschiede zwischen diesen beiden Fakultäten zu analysieren. In Deutschland kann das Studium der Tiermedizin an fünf Hochschulen, unter anderem in München, absolviert werden. In der Französischen Gemeinschaft Belgiens gibt es vier Universitäten, die den Bachelor-Studiengang der Tiermedizin anbieten, jedoch ist Liège die einzige Universität, in welcher man im Master-Studiengang das Studium fortsetzen kann. Studierende, die ihr Bachelor-Studium in einer dieser vier Universitäten abgeschlossen haben, werden automatisch zum Master-Studium in Liège zugelassen. Im Ausland zu studieren ist eine ausgezeichnete Gelegenheit, um das Studium zu bereichern, ein neues akademisches Umfeld und eine andere Lebensart kennen zu lernen und die Karrierechancen zu verbessern. Die Schaffung eines gemeinsamen europäischen Rahmens der tierärztlichen Ausbildung und das Wissen über das Bildungssystem in anderen Ländern erleichtern die Mobilität von Studierenden und Akademikern. Die europäischen Staaten haben die Europäische Union (EU) und den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum (EWR) gegründet, um die politische und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit zu stärken. Um die Studiengänge einander anzugleichen und die Anerkennung der beruflichen Qualifikation innerhalb des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums zu ermöglichen, wurde die Richtlinie 2005/36/EG verabschiedet. Sie definiert zum Beispiel die Mindestanforderungen der tierärztlichen, medizinischen und zahnmedizinischen Ausbildungen, so dass diese Berufe europaweit anerkannt werden können. Mit der Unterzeichnung der Bologna-Erklärung beschlossen 47 Länder in Europa, die Hochschulbildung besser vergleichbar zu machen und die Mobilität von Akademikern und von Studenten zu fördern. Sie beschlossen die Aufteilung der Studiengänge in drei Zyklen (Bachelor- / Master- / Promotionsstudiengang), die Einführung des Leistungspunktesystems ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) und die Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Qualitätssicherung. Tiermedizinische Ausbildungsstätten werden darüber hinaus auf freiwilliger Basis durch die EAEVE (European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education, im Französischen: AEEEV) evaluiert. Die EAEVE bewertet die Einhaltung der Mindestanforderungen an die Ausbildung, wie sie in der Richtlinie 2005/36/EG definiert wurden und hat eine Liste der Ersttagskompetenzen, die als „day-one skills“ bezeichnet werden, erstellt, die die Absolventen beherrschen müssen. Das Studium in München dauert fünfeinhalb Jahre, was elf Semestern entspricht; die Absolventen erhalten den Titel des Tierarztes. In Liège wird das Studium in den ersten Zyklus, den Bachelor-Studiengang, und den zweiten, den Master-Studiengang, unterteilt, wobei beide jeweils drei Jahre dauern. In jedem Jahr müssen die Studenten 60 ECTS erwerben. Einem sogenannten Kredit entspricht ein Lernaufwand von ca. 30 Stunden. Im Gegensatz zu München müssen die Studenten in Liège eine Masterarbeit schreiben und erhalten damit automatisch den Titel des Doktors der Veterinärmedizin zusätzlich zu dem des Tierarztes. An beiden Fakultäten ist die Zulassungsvoraussetzung zum Studium die Hochschulzugangsberechtigung, die in Deutschland als Abitur und in der Französischen Gemeinschaft Belgiens als Certificat d' Enseignement Supérieur Secondaire bezeichnet wird. In München ist die Zulassung zum Studium beschränkt. Bis zu 80% der Studienplätze werden aufgrund der Abiturnote vergeben. Im Gegensatz dazu dürfen alle in Belgien ansässigen Bewerber das Studium in Liège beginnen. Die Zahl der in Belgien nichtansässigen Bewerber wird hingegen auf 30% der gesamten Anzahl der Studierenden, die im Vorjahr zum ersten Mal in diesem Studiengang eingeschrieben waren, beschränkt. Diese werden per Losverfahren aus der Gesamtzahl der nichtansässigen Bewerber ausgewählt. Diese erhebliche Beschränkung wurde aufgrund der großen Anzahl an Studienbewerbern aus Frankreich eingeführt. In München sind 86% der Studenten weiblich, in Liège nur 68%. Die Studenten in Liège sind jünger als die in München, was sich durch die Unterschiede im Schulsystem erklären lässt. Die Gesamtdauer des Studiums beträgt etwa 5000 Stunden an beiden Fakultäten - München und Liège. Jedoch gibt es erhebliche Unterschiede im Umfang der Lehre in der Lebensmittelhygiene, dem öffentlichen Gesundheitswesen und in Grundfächern wie Physik, Botanik, Zoologie, Chemie und Biometrie. Während in Liège mehr Zeit für die Grundfächer aufgewandt wird (München: 322 Stunden, Liège: 554 Stunden), gibt es in München eine umfassendere Ausbildung in der Lebensmittelhygiene (München: 516 Stunden, Liège: 180 Stunden). In München müssen die Studenten 308 Stunden in Wahlpflichtfächern bis zum Abschluss des Studiums belegen. In Liège hingegen gibt es keine vergleichbaren Wahlpflichtfächer. Die Studenten haben nur die Möglichkeit, die Tierart in zwei Kursen zu wählen. Außerdem gibt es Unterschiede in der Anzahl der Praktika, die Studenten während ihres Studiums absolvieren müssen. In München stellen die Praktika über 20% der gesamten Ausbildungsdauer dar (1170 Stunden). Die Studenten verbringen 850 Stunden in einer tierärztlichen Praxis oder tierärztlichen Klinik und darüber hinaus 100 Stunden im Schlachthof. Demgegenüber absolvieren die Studenten in Liège nur Praktika im Umfang von 560 Stunden. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurde ein Fragebogen mit dem Ziel erstellt, die grundlegenden tierärztlichen Fertigkeiten der Absolventen zu bewerten. Der Fragebogen wurde in Anlehnung an die durch die EAEVE definierten Ersttagskompetenzen konzipiert. In München und Liège wurden alle Studenten kurz vor Abschluss ihres Studiums im Jahr 2012 befragt. An beiden Fakultäten beantworteten jeweils über 200 Studenten den Fragebogen. Nach dem Erheben der demographischen Variablen wurden die Studenten gefragt, ob sie später mit Kleintieren, Pferden, Rindern / Schweinen, in einer Gemischtpraxis oder in der Wissenschaft / Labor arbeiten wollen. Danach sollten die Teilnehmer ihre eigenen Fertigkeiten einschätzen und darüber Auskunft geben, wo sie diese erworben haben (Vorlesung, Übung, Rotation, Praktikum). Die Fragen wurden zu Themenbereichen zusammengefasst, wie „Allgemeine Untersuchung und Behandlung“, „Kleintiermedizin" und „Großtiermedizin“. Die statistische Auswertung der erhobenen Daten zeigte, dass die Studenten in Liège ihre Kompetenzen in fast allen Themenbereichen besser einschätzten als die Studierenden in München. Zudem schätzten die männlichen Befragten insgesamt ihre Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten signifikant besser ein als die weiblichen. Diese Selbsteinschätzung korrespondiert jedoch nicht mit den Abschlussnoten in München, denn es hat sich gezeigt, dass die weiblichen Studenten tendenziell besser abgeschnitten haben als ihre männlichen Kommilitonen. Anschließend wurden die selbst eingeschätzten Kompetenzen der Studenten in den einzelnen Themenbereichen innerhalb von München und innerhalb von Liège miteinander verglichen. In München beurteilten die Studenten ihre Kompetenzen im Bereich „Kleintiermedizin“ signifikant schlechter als ihre Kenntnisse in der „Allgemeinen Untersuchung und Behandlung“, während in Liège die Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten in diesen beiden Bereichen gleich gut eingeschätzt wurden. Ein möglicher Grund für diese unterschiedliche Einschätzung ergibt sich daraus, dass die Studenten in Liège die Möglichkeit haben, Kleintiere in Tierheimen zu untersuchen und zu operieren. Die Antworten der Studenten auf die Fragen, wo sie ihre Kompetenzen erlernt haben, stimmten an beiden Studienorten weitgehend überein. In München wie in Liège wurden die Kompetenzen in der „allgemeinen Untersuchung und Behandlung“ meistens während der Rotation erworben. Wurden Kenntnisse in Praktika erworben, so schätzten die Befragten ihre Fertigkeiten in vielen Themenbereichen besser ein, wie beispielsweise in der „Kleintiermedizin“ und der „Großtiermedizin“. Diese bessere Selbsteinschätzung basiert darauf, dass in dem Fragebogen vor allem praktische Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten der Studenten abgefragt wurden. Die Hypothese, dass es einen signifikant positiven Zusammenhang zwischen dem Interesse an einem Themengebiet und dem Wissensstand auf diesem Gebiet gibt, konnte bestätigt werden. So schätzten zum Beispiel Studierende, die später mit Kleintieren arbeiten wollten, ihre erworbenen Fähigkeiten auf dem Gebiet der „Kleintiermedizin“ signifikant besser ein als jene, die später mit Rindern / Schweinen oder in der Wissenschaft / Labor arbeiten wollten. Zusammenfassend kann festgehalten werden, dass dieser Vergleich sowohl die Ähnlichkeiten als auch die Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Tierärztlichen Fakultäten in München und in Liège verdeutlicht. Zum einen können die beschriebenen Unterschiede dazu dienen, die Weiterentwicklungen und Angleichungen der tiermedizinischen Ausbildung an Universitäten in Europa zu fördern. Zum anderen erleichterte es die vorliegende Arbeit im März 2014 einen ERASMUS-Vertrag zwischen beiden Fakultäten zu unterzeichnen.
