Penn Vet Welcomes First-Year Students with new Curriculum Launch
Incoming V’26 students will become the first to experience Penn Vet’s new learner-centered curriculum, which is intended to prepare them for multifaceted careers in veterinary medicine.
Following the August 23 welcome session from Dean Andrew Hoffman and Assistant Dean of Admissions and Student Life Claire Bruno, the incoming V’26s heard from Associate Dean of Education Kathy Michel and Assistant Dean of Education Amy Durham on the new curriculum’s competency-based components, clinical competencies, and deliberate academic outcomes.
The students also participated in a number of immersive and integrated sessions led by Penn Vet students, faculty, and staff on topics ranging from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to wellness and student health services to educational technologies and library services.
