DVG Specialist Group Didactic and Communication
The disciplines of didactics (theory and practice of teaching and learning) and communication are currently not among the explicit subjects in the study of veterinary medicine. The content and acquisition are therefore offered in separate courses during undergraduate or postgraduate training. Many veterinarians attend further training or courses and thus pursue individual professionalization. These committed advocates of good teaching and communicative competence in the specialist group are offered a forum to exchange information, cooperate and complete further training.
Benefits for Members
- Scientific discourse on new concepts and results of the accompanying research
- Networking & exchange
- Development of recommendations and guidelines
- Further training in the field of didactics and communication
- Information about funding opportunities
