    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Parasitology Education
    • Higher Education

    Background:

    • Understanding the global landscape of veterinary parasitology education is crucial for standardizing training.
    • Existing data on teaching methodologies and curriculum structure in veterinary schools worldwide is limited.
    • Previous symposia and committee reports provide some insights but a comprehensive overview is lacking.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate and analyze the current state of parasitology teaching in veterinary schools globally.
    • To identify common practices and variations in curriculum, instruction, and assessment methods.
    • To provide a foundational understanding for potential improvements in veterinary parasitology education.

    Main Methods:

    • A questionnaire was distributed to veterinary institutions worldwide, sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO) World Directory.

  • Data was supplemented by information from a 1978 symposium in Hannover, Germany, and the 1981 Education Committee report of the American Association of Veterinary Parasitologists.
  • Analysis focused on academic level, curriculum placement, teaching materials, practical instruction, evaluation, staff, organization, and publications.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 91 responses were received from the distributed questionnaires.
    • The study discusses various aspects including academic levels, curriculum integration, textbook usage, practical training, and assessment techniques.
    • Information on teaching staff, institutional organization, and publication output related to parasitology is also presented.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a snapshot of global veterinary parasitology education, highlighting diverse approaches.
    • Findings underscore the need for further discussion and potential harmonization of teaching standards.
    • This research serves as a basis for future curriculum development and educational strategies in veterinary parasitology.
