Continuing Education and Professional Development

Professional development is central to the curriculum in the UQ School of Veterinary Science and this aspect in particular contributes to the School’s “Learning for Life” theme. Our learning environment encourages the acquisition of independent learning skills and instills a desire for lifelong learning.  Continuing education and professional development will assist veterinary professionals to keep current in their area of practice, to keep updated with changes and new advances and improve their level of competence.

The large and diverse group of academic and clinical staff in the School has established an outstanding record of teaching and research to benefit farm and companion animals, their owners and industry sectors.

We have built strategic partnerships and relationships to ensure innovation and excellence in teaching and research as well as clinical and public health services. This is through active engagement with the veterinary profession, alumni, Government, the animal health industry and the community. Provision of broad opportunities in training for specialization, postgraduate studies and continuing veterinary education will enhance our interactions with the profession and develop standards of veterinary practice in Queensland.
