There is a high demand for a veterinary education in animal welfare (AW) with different approaches from the academic, society and trade points of view. Latin American (LA) countries members of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) are under the urge and should be obligated to teach AW. The aims of this article are to analyze the current drives of change on the importance of teaching animal welfare in LA, the competences recommended from international education organizations for the region, and to provide the contents on the curriculum in AW that a future veterinarian should achieve in the LA scenario, in other words to examine why teaching AW, what should be taught and how. Despite significant advances in introducing AW into veterinary training programs, much remains to be done regarding the future of this field in teaching veterinary science in Spain and LA countries, and in including this science as an independent course in programs at distinct levels to integrate the scientific, ethical and legal aspects of AW. This paper presents a proposal that was constructed with a view towards integrating diverse curricular approaches based on criteria, contents and concepts provided by the researchers and professors who collaborated in the book entitled: Bienestar Animal: Una Visión Global en Iberoamerica [Animal Welfare: A Global Vision in Ibero-America]. To ensure veterinary students will be better equipped to graduate with OIE day 1 competencies in AW, teaching approaches are needed that support project-based learning and gamification, critical thinking, reflection and collaborative learning.
从学术、社会和行业角度来看，对动物福利（AW）方面的兽医教育有着很高的需求，且存在不同的方式。世界动物卫生组织（OIE）的拉丁美洲（LA）成员国面临着推动并应被要求教授动物福利的压力。本文的目的是分析当前拉丁美洲在动物福利教学重要性方面的变革驱动力、国际教育组织为该地区推荐的能力要求，并提供在拉丁美洲背景下未来兽医应在动物福利课程中掌握的内容，换句话说，就是审视为何要教授动物福利、应教授什么以及如何教授。尽管在将动物福利引入兽医培训项目方面取得了显著进展，但在西班牙和拉丁美洲国家兽医科学教学领域中该领域的未来发展，以及将这门科学作为不同层次课程中的独立课程以整合动物福利的科学、伦理和法律方面，仍有许多工作要做。本文提出了一项建议，该建议是基于在《动物福利：伊比利亚美洲的全球视野》一书中合作的研究人员和教授提供的标准、内容和概念，旨在整合多种课程方法。为确保兽医专业学生在毕业时能更好地具备世界动物卫生组织规定的动物福利方面的第一天能力，需要支持基于项目的学习和游戏化、批判性思维、反思和协作学习的教学方法。
