Abstract

Veterinary Nurses play a key role in handling drugs and perform medication treatments, thus pharmacological knowledge is essential. The veterinary nurses' role varies widely worldwide but does not include the prescription of drugs. Nevertheless, pharmacology is a complex subject within veterinary nursing education and for the registered veterinary nurse in practice. In this article, we describe and discuss the pedagogical questions "what, why, and how" of teaching pharmacology to undergraduate veterinary nurses implemented in the Veterinary Nursing programme in Sweden. The program has undergone vast changes with classes increasing from 40 to 120 students during the last decade. The progression in the program is presented as intended learning objectives, the teaching and learning activities, and the assessment tasks in each course concerning pharmacology. The procedure of several student-activating pedagogical methods is presented. The use of students' evaluations to assess the education, in line with student-centered education, is described. This information can be useful for veterinary nursing program directors, course leaders, administrators, or teachers considering undertaking curricular changes.

瑞典兽医护理本科课程药理学教学的计划方法与实施。

兽医护士在处理药物和执行药物治疗中起着关键作用，因此药理学知识是必不可少的。兽医护士的角色在世界范围内差别很大，但不包括处方药物。然而，药理学在兽医护理教育中是一门复杂的学科，对于注册兽医护士来说也是如此。在这篇文章中，我们描述和讨论的教学问题“什么，为什么，以及如何”教药理学本科兽医护士实施兽医护理计划在瑞典。该项目经历了巨大的变化，班级人数在过去十年中从40人增加到120人。该计划的进展以预期的学习目标、教学和学习活动以及每门有关药理学课程的评估任务为基础。介绍了几种学生激活教学法的实施过程。阐述了以学生为中心，利用学生的评价来评价教育。这些信息对兽医护理项目主管、课程负责人、管理人员或考虑进行课程变更的教师都很有用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics (JVPT) is an international journal devoted to the publication of scientific papers in the basic and clinical aspects of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology, whether the study is in vitro, in vivo, ex vivo or in silico. The Journal is a forum for recent scientific information and developments in the discipline of veterinary pharmacology, including toxicology and therapeutics. Studies that are entirely in vitro will not be considered within the scope of JVPT unless the study has direct relevance to the use of the drug (including toxicants and feed additives) in veterinary species, or that it can be clearly demonstrated that a similar outcome would be expected in vivo. These studies should consider approved or widely used veterinary drugs and/or drugs with broad applicability to veterinary species.
