Course overview

This course is the final course in the DVM program preparing students for entry into post-graduate life. The course transitions students from didactic learning in DVM I & II to a workplace-based learning environment in the final year and then on to entry into the veterinary profession. The course runs in four - one week blocks spread across the final year to present topics when they are most relevant and have the most impact on student learning.

Course learning outcomes

  • Integrate, recognise and apply the Australasian Veterinary Boards Council (AVBC) Day One Competences to solve professional and veterinary problems.
  • Apply appropriate life skills to support a successful professional career.
