As only the third veterinary school in Scotland and the first in over 150 years, the 抖阴直播 School of Veterinary Medicine will use innovative teaching methods to prepare students for work in the increasingly important rural mixed practice, agricultural and food sectors听
听
The new curriculum not only embeds students in real-life practices but will address a number of key issues within the wider rural and veterinary sectors.听听听

Professor Caroline Argo, Dean of Veterinary Medicine and Head of School, said: 鈥淚t is now recognised that the UK veterinary profession is failing to achieve self-sufficiency in generating and retaining homegrown talent. This has serious ramifications for Scotland鈥檚 farmers. We are seeking to address this by training the vets that are so essential for our food sector and mixed, rural practices.听
听
鈥淭he UK鈥檚 vet schools produce professionals of the very highest standard, but changes in the labour market mean that the veterinary profession remains on the Home Office鈥檚 鈥楽hortage Occupation List鈥� and has a high turnover rate together with large dependency on non-UK, largely EU vets to address shortfalls in priority areas. These areas include remote and rural practice, veterinary public health, livestock health and welfare, and government services, including certification.听听
听
鈥淚n light of Brexit and border policy changes, it is now essential for Scotland that we build new homegrown talent pools for ourselves, and equip them with the specialist skills, resilience and diversity that our rural communities, government and food sectors require.鈥澨�
