Abstract

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Utrecht University has seen three major curriculum changes, in 1995, 2001 and 2007. The last change was made because of the European change to a Bachelor-Master system. Almost each time teaching hours tagged for veterinary parasitology have been reduced to currently a minimum of between 46 and 51.5 h, which is much less than the WAAVP-recommended minimum of 70-90 h. This results in a challenge to maintain a qualitatively adequate veterinary parasitology program in a curriculum. Following a brief historic account of previous curricula and implemented curriculum changes, experiences, limitations and opportunities are discussed, including the potential of introducing new teaching materials based, for example, on digital technologies and gaming.

摘要

乌得勒支大学兽医学院经历了三次重大课程改革，分别在1995年、2001年和2007年。最近一次改革是由于欧洲转向学士 - 硕士体系。几乎每次兽医学寄生虫学的教学时长都被减少到目前的最低水平，即46至51.5小时之间，这远低于世界动物寄生虫学协会（WAAVP）建议的70 - 90小时的最低标准。这给在课程中维持质量上足够的兽医学寄生虫学教学计划带来了挑战。在简要回顾以往课程及已实施的课程改革历史之后，讨论了相关经验、局限性和机遇，包括引入例如基于数字技术和游戏的新教材的潜力。
