Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Parasitology Education

Background:

  • Global trend towards evolving undergraduate veterinary parasitology curricula.
  • Need for baseline data to guide curriculum development and quality assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comparative snapshot of veterinary parasitology courses at Australian universities.
  • To inform stakeholders on current teaching practices and their potential impact.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of veterinary science curricula.
  • Detailed review of veterinary parasitology course components: objectives, topics, delivery, assessment, and evaluation.
  • Quantitative comparison of student contact hours.

Main Results:

  • Melbourne University has higher student contact hours (183h) than Sydney and Queensland (106-110h).

  • Melbourne employs a taxonomic approach followed by a combined disciplinary and problem-based approach.
  • Sydney and Queensland utilize a host-species-based approach followed by problem-based learning.

    • Conclusions:

    • Significant variations exist in veterinary parasitology course structures and delivery across Australian institutions.
    • Comparative data is crucial for evidence-based recommendations on curriculum enhancement in veterinary parasitology.
