Students of veterinary medicine should achieve basic professional competences required to practise their profession. A main focus of veterinary education is on developing clinical skills. The present study used the guidelines of the "Day-One Skills" list of European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) to create an online questionnaire for assessing the skills acquired by students at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo). The theoretical and practical veterinary knowledge levels of the students and postgraduates are determined and compared.
In two batches, 607 people responded (response batch 1, 23.78%; response batch 2, 23.83%). From 49 defined skills, 28 are actually practised during training at the university and 21 activities are known only theoretically. Furthermore, the students showed great willingness to use simulators and models in a clinical skills lab.
The results of this survey highlight that the opening of a clinical skills lab at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover and its incorporation into the study programme are ideal tools to promote practical competences and foster the motivation to learn.
兽医学专业的学生应具备从事该职业所需的基本专业能力。兽医教育的一个主要重点是培养临床技能。本研究采用欧洲兽医教育机构协会（EAEVE）的“首日技能”清单指南，创建了一份在线问卷，以评估汉诺威兽医大学（TiHo）学生所获得的技能。对学生和研究生的理论及实践兽医知识水平进行了测定和比较。
分两批进行调查，共有607人回复（第一批回复率为23.78%；第二批回复率为23.83%）。在49项规定技能中，有28项在大学培训期间实际操作过，21项仅在理论上有所了解。此外，学生们表现出极大的意愿在临床技能实验室中使用模拟器和模型。
本次调查结果表明，汉诺威兽医大学开设临床技能实验室并将其纳入学习计划是促进实践能力和激发学习动机的理想工具。
