Abstract
The integration of the One Health concept into veterinary education is critical for preparing future professionals to address the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. This study aimed to compare the comprehension of the One Health concept among veterinary students in online (n = 48) and classroom (n = 49) teaching settings and to assess changes in their awareness following instruction by administering pre- and post-course questionnaires to evaluate students' attitudes and perceptions of the One Health concept. An enhancement was noted from before to after education in both settings. However, no significant differences between the online and classroom settings for any of the questions before or after education were detected (p > 0.05). The students' perspectives on the course methodology employed were not statistically different (p = 0.25) between classroom teaching and online teaching. In conclusion, both online and traditional classroom instruction can effectively enhance veterinary students' perceived comprehension of the One Health concept. This underscores the versatility of instructional modalities and emphasizes the need for flexibility in educational practice to meet the diverse needs of learners.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Veterinary Medical Education (JVME) is the peer-reviewed scholarly journal of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC). As an internationally distributed journal, JVME provides a forum for the exchange of ideas, research, and discoveries about veterinary medical education. This exchange benefits veterinary faculty, students, and the veterinary profession as a whole by preparing veterinarians to better perform their professional activities and to meet the needs of society.
The journal’s areas of focus include best practices and educational methods in veterinary education; recruitment, training, and mentoring of students at all levels of education, including undergraduate, graduate, veterinary technology, and continuing education; clinical instruction and assessment; institutional policy; and other challenges and issues faced by veterinary educators domestically and internationally. Veterinary faculty of all countries are encouraged to participate as contributors, reviewers, and institutional representatives.
