EAEVE - Preparing for the visit
Based on those indications, we took a closer look at the existing programme and put measures in place to improve it.
The EAEVE inspection forced the veterinary degree programme and DIMEVET to improve, instilling a culture of change and action, spurred by debates that at times were even harsh, though necessary. These innovations have contributed to profound changes in the way we think about education, allowing the main subject to no longer be the teacher, but the student.
Things that once seemed trivial, such as the preparation of syllabi for each lesson or course, transparency about examinations or discussions on student opinions about teachers within the Council were, in fact, the first true innovations that have paved the way to a different way of thinking, fundamental to obtain the accreditation. Much has also been done in terms of recognition and improvement of student welfare, from the way the exams are held to the sharing of safety rules and regulations. Alongside more "philosophical" aspects, EAEVE preparation has involved many practical interventions.
Currently, DIMEVET’s first aid service is considered world class in terms of the quality of services and a ‘powerhouse’ for training students and new graduates.
