Challenges & Issues: Evidence-Based Clinical Skills Teaching and Learning: What Do We Really Know?
Journal of Veterinary Medical Education
|May 31, 2019
Summary
Effective veterinary clinical skills training requires optimizing learning time. Evidence-based motor skills learning suggests focusing on fewer skills, using varied teaching methods, and incorporating regular assessments for better veterinary education.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Education
- Motor Skills Learning
Background:
- Veterinary programs increasingly emphasize clinical skills development.
- Efficient use of instructional time is crucial for effective veterinary training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current veterinary clinical skills teaching practices.
- To apply principles of evidence-based motor skills learning to veterinary education.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of veterinary training and motor skills learning.
- Analysis of current veterinary clinical skills teaching methodologies.
Main Results:
- Current veterinary training practices may impede effective learning.
- Proposed improvements include pre-laboratory training, single-skill focus, near-peer instruction, and integrated assessments.
- Supervised distributed practice within the curriculum is recommended.
Conclusions:
- Mastery of core skills is preferable to broad exposure.
- Further research is needed on curriculum design, instructor ratios, practice schedules, and exercise benefits in motor skills acquisition.

Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

01:14Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness
2.5K
Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
2.0K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
