What Veterinary Schools Must Do To Survive The Coronavirus Crisis And Why Their Survival is So Important with Dr. Phil Nelson
What has to be done to help veterinary schools survive the coronavirus crisis and what impact will the pandemic have on veterinary medical education. Will students get the education they desperately need and want? New veterinary graduates are the next generation tasked with protecting and preserving animal and human health. Because their educational experience has been upended, many veterinary schools will have to enact permanent changes. .
Whether it’s distance learning, resolving basic technical issues, access to learning materials, Internet access, how students can receive and turn in assignments; and how students can be assessed and graded by their professors, there are so many questions to answer about how to educate young veterinary students in the midst of a pandemic. In this conversation, we discuss why it is so vital to nourish the young talent in veterinary schools and how to protect their educational experience.
