Implementation of innovative methods in teaching of clinical veterinary infectology

The main objective of the project is to introduce modern and innovative elements into the teaching of clinical veterinary infectology and epidemiology in doctoral, master and bachelor study programmes. On the basis of a systematic modernisation of theoretical and practical teaching, students across the study programmes will be provided with a comprehensive educational background in order to make their training more effective. The implementation of the project will increase the quality level of preparation of future graduates for the profession of veterinarians, veterinary nurses, canister therapists, hippotherapists and advisors in breeding. As part of the innovation of the teaching process, students will have access to modern diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic procedures that are developing rapidly in veterinary practice, which must be reflected from a didactic point of view. The topicality of this issue is underlined by the fact that many infectious and parasitic diseases of domestic animals fall into the category of zoonoses. From this point of view, it is important to consistently prepare future veterinary graduates for the practical management of situations associated with the possible circulation of infectious pathogens in pet animal populations.
