Session Summaries
Katherine Folgerberg
Encouraging agility and adaptability in veterinary medical education encourages attendees to reflect upon the importance of evolving veterinary education to keep up with transformative technologies that influence both the training of veterinarians and the practice of veterinary medicine in all its forms, challenging veterinary educators to think creatively and work collectively toward a more agile and accessible future.
Why active learning and how to incorporate it into your teaching introduces research that supports active learning as a teaching approach, describes a variety of active learning techniques, and provides an opportunity for participants to engage in several active learning activities to help each other figure out ways to incorporate such techniques into their own teaching.
Qualitative research in veterinary education compares and contrasts qualitative and quantitative research methods, summarizes the value of adding qualitative research to veterinary education, provides an overview of qualitative research approaches, and engages participants in the process of creating a qualitative research process through guided small group work.
