Use of Generative AI by Veterinary Students in Two UK Vet Schools: A Moment in Time.

Journal of veterinary medical education·2026

Veterinary students need better preparation for clinical placements. A new computer-aided learning package, "The EMS Driving Licence," addresses key concerns and is recommended by students and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Education
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • Extramural studies (EMS) are mandatory for UK veterinary students, providing essential private practice experience.
  • Adequate student preparation is crucial for maximizing learning during these clinical placements.
  • Recent issues highlighted the need for improved pre-placement training for veterinary students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key issues faced by veterinary students during extramural studies.
  • To develop a computer-aided learning (CAL) package to enhance student preparedness for clinical placements.
  • To address concerns regarding preparation, professional conduct, and practical aspects of EMS.

Main Methods:

  • Iterative consultation with stakeholders, including veterinary students and placement providers.
