Soft Skills Tough Vets

Dear all, you are kindly invited to an interesting conference in Budapest this April. Read more: https://graco2022.univet.hu/

During our project we made a handbook. Called "HANDBOOK FOR INTRODUCING LIFE SKILLLS TEACHING INTO VETERINARY
MEDICAL EDUCATION"

What is this handbook not about?

This handbook is/does NOT:

- Provide a symposium on pros and cons of teaching life skills
in veterinary education: each institution has to decide for itself
whether and how to implement competence-based teaching
and learning of life skills

- A binding guideline: each institution has to decide for itself
whether the proposed documents, especially Curriculum meet
the institutions’ needs and possibilities.

So, if you want to find out what it IS about, you'll need to donwload it on the following link: https://softvets.eu/softvets-handbook/

If you're already forgetting us, here is short summary of what we did during the project :) Erasmus+

Yesterday was the last official day of our project. It went by so quickly! But that doesn't mean we will stop with our activities, so stay tuned.

Here is prof. Danijela Horvatek Tomić giving the presentation of our results at EAEVE GA.

As our project is approaching it's end we are proud to present you our projects intellectual outputs. The first one is:

Recommendations of life skills competences for veterinary students

https://softvets.eu/recommendations-of-life-skills-competences-for-veterinary-students/

This document provides recommendations of life skills competences for veterinary students focusing on three key areas: communication, digital skills, entrepreneurial skills. The list of competences applies to higher education in veterinary medicine and can be integrated in whole or in part into existing curricula.

Our project coordinator , dr. Lada Radin gave an extensive interview for International Veterinary Students' Association (IVSA)'s Journal of veterinary education.

Check it out on page 60 and find out what her views on "life" skills are after 3 years of the project are, how are life skills taught across Europe and world, what would be the one skill she would give to all of students if she could and is there an ideal curriculum ...

We would also like to thank IVSA Standing Committee on Veterinary Education, SCoVE here for being partner of this project, and let's hope we'll have many more together!
