Background

 

It is high time to restructure and revitalize the present   institutional set-up for veterinary practices to enhance institutional level efficiency and promote new institutional models to handle the emerging challenges in the development of the veterinary sector.
In Nepal the veterinary profession lacks training and exposure of newly graduated vets/vet techs/para vets particularly to companion animal clinical practice. In this scenario, there is a need to develop and produce competent working professionals – vets, para vets and vet techs.  Providing better training and services will help pets and their owners, and will secure the relationship of pet animals within local society.
The training and course we promote will provide in-depth knowledge and hands-on-skills for the vets and their teams.

Continuing Veterinary Education

 

With the rapid growth in technological knowledge and frequent paradigm shifts in technology, Continuing Education (CE) of working veterinary professionals is vital. The CE program of the (Clinical Skills Learning Center)CSLC will be set up to meet the training and upskilling of professionals working in the veterinary sector and related fields. The focus of the program is to provide practical evidence-based information that can be applied to clinical problems when the participants return to their places of employment.

About the CSLC

 

The CSLC is a space where the group of teachers are dedicated to enhancing the development of both basic and advanced clinical skills for Nepali veterinary/para-veterinary graduates, students and interns. The nearly 1000 square foot CSLC is equipped with all the equipment, surgical tools, a video microscope and monitors, IV catheter trainers, restraint models, suturing pads among other learning tools.

  • Public Private Partnership
    1. Blending of resources and assets from both public and private sectors benefits all parties and meets the objective of providing a more efficient and cost-effective means of the service at a saving to the public.
    2. Benefits include reduced cost (compared to colleges taking this responsibility alone), better quality of service, greater productivity, and better leverage of the limited government resources to fulfill high-cost/high-need projects.
    3. Including private practitioners gives participants exposure to their clinical skills, clinical experience, clinical facilities, and business experience.
    4. Working together allows access to the international contacts of the public and private enterprises
  • Providing Quality Education through Private Sector Engagement and Support
    1. Increasing the private sector’s role in education has several potential advantages over traditional public delivery of education. When implemented correctly, the private sector can increase efficiency and choice, and expand access to education services, particularly for households that tend to be poorly served by traditional delivery methods.
    2. The main rationale for developing public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education is to maximize the potential for expanding equitable access to schooling and for improving education outcomes, especially for marginalized groups.

Curriculum:

 

Curriculum development for the CSLC is an ongoing process that involves individual faculty or specialties creating exercises or modules that represent core skills for that specific service or rotation. Examples of clinical rotations that will have a CSLC component include large animal, poultry, canine, fishery, equine, etc.

Outcomes:

 
  • Focused practical skills and training for vet students.
  • Development of the status of the veterinary sector within society.
  • A veterinary sector with improved status can contribute to the development of local society under the One Health concept.
  • Trained and competent veterinary graduates.
  • Developed skilled veterinary teams.
  • Community-centered satellite clinics in peri-urban and rural areas.
  • Accessible veterinary services aimed at rural farmers and communities.
  • Quality veterinary education for students

Why Nepali veterinarians struggle ?

Lack of opportunities

In many countries, especially developing countries like Nepal, the structure of clinical practice restricts the opportunities for students, graduates and even practitioners to practice and perform surgery

Lack of support

When the students do not have adequate support, they do not feel equipped to undertake surgery on their patients once they graduate

Not enough cases

Even when veterinarians do have the ability and knowledge to perform surgery, sometimes the caseload is not enough for veterinarians to keep their skills up to date

The “No Experience Cycle”

In a busy practice, it is common for surgeries to be completed by the most experienced vets, as this is the most time efficient, with best outcomes for the patient. This starts a cycle where inexperienced vets do not have the chance to learn from experienced team members, nor to improve.
The CSLC – Spay/Neuter Training Program is an immersive and intensive experience lasting for 15 days in an incredibly sympathetic environment. The students will be supported, supervised and mentored throughout the course by two highly experienced tutors who will help them develop their skills.
