Changes in society and dissatisfaction with current educational practices have led to changes in undergraduate veterinary curricula. New approaches that are thought to better prepare students for future professional veterinary practice are being introduced. One such change is a transition from conventional teacher-centred curricula to student-centred curricula. In student-centred curricula, students are actively involved in learning and teachers not only transmit knowledge but help students to obtain a deep understanding. Furthermore, learning within these curricula takes place in a multi-disciplinary context which is more relevant for the future of the profession. Another change is that more emphasis is put on training in academic skills, for instance, by establishing research internships. Finally, a new emphasis is being placed on training in more generic competencies, such as communication and business skills. These changes are assumed to better suit the profile of veterinary students today and in the future and to better prepare them for future veterinary practice.
社会的变革以及对当前教育实践的不满导致了本科兽医课程的变化。人们正在引入一些新方法，认为这些方法能让学生更好地为未来的兽医专业实践做好准备。其中一个变化是从传统的以教师为中心的课程向以学生为中心的课程转变。在以学生为中心的课程中，学生积极参与学习，教师不仅传授知识，还帮助学生深入理解。此外，这些课程中的学习是在多学科背景下进行的，这与该专业的未来发展更为相关。另一个变化是更加注重学术技能的培训，例如通过设立研究实习。最后，人们开始更加重视培养更通用的能力，如沟通和商业技能。这些变化被认为更适合当今和未来兽医学生的特点，并能让他们更好地为未来的兽医实践做好准备。
