TheVISITATIONREPORT(DraftCandDaswell,NovemberandDecember2017,respectively)alsoidentified1non-

• Non-compliancewithStandard3.5becauseofinsufficientacquisitionofsomeofthecoreDay-One

Competences,duetoinsufficientclinicalrotationunderthesupervisionofacademicstaff.

Sincethen,FVETUMhasbeenfullycommittedtothecorrectionofalldeficienciespointedoutbytheEAEVEexpertsto

Among thesemeasures, a significant increase of hands-on clinical training hours has been introduced in the core

curriculumwithinashortperiodoftime.Thiswouldnothavebeenpossiblewithouttheeffortsofthestaffandstudents

oftheEstablishment.TheFVETUMalsoacknowledgesthecounsellingandhelpfuladviceoftheEAEVEtosolveallthe

MAJORDEFICIENCY.Non-compliancewithStandard3.5becauseofinsufficientacquisitionofsomeofthecoreDay-OneCompetences,duetoinsufficientclinicalrotationunderthesupervisionofacademicstaff.

Factualinformation

Thecausesofnon-compliancewiththestandardandthepotentialmarginforimprovementwerethoroughlyanalyzed

bytheFacultyBoardinseveralsessionsduringacademicyear2017-18.

Afterconsideringallthecommentsincludedinthefinalreport(draftD),itwasagreedthattheMajorDeficiencywas

associatedtodeficitsinthePRACTICUM,andespeciallyinsomerotationsinvolvingClinicalPracticalTraining.Special

emphasiswastakentoreviewtheextramuralrotationof4weeksexpendedbyeachstudentinaselectedplacement.

ThiswasidentifiedbytheevaluationcommitteeasEPT,despitebeingslightlysupervisedbyoneacademictutor(written

reports),aswellasbythepractitioner(evaluationbyrubric).Additionally,thepossibilityofincreasingthetotalnumber

ofhoursofcompulsoryclinicaltrainingintheintramuralrotations(VeterinaryTeachingHospital,VTH)wasconsidered

apriority.

Ontheotherhand,increasingthenumberofacademicstaffinvolvedinthesupervisionoftherotationswasanurgent

need.SincethepowertohireacademicsisontheUniversityGovernment,animmediateofficialrequestwassubmitted.

Due to bureaucratic and legal issues, it normally takes quite long (months) to get the approval of new academic

contracts,howeverastheneedwasjustifiedandtheRectorteamveryreceptivefullsupportfromtheUniversityhas

beenobtained(AnnexI).

In the following lines the actions takenwith regards to the increase of clinical rotations and improvements in the

1. UM and FVETUM should consider to delegatefull instructional power to the Dean withrespecttofinances(incl.budget),infrastructure,HR and curriculum. This would ensure fulltransversalcompliancethroughouttheFVETUM(and other Faculties) and place the ultimateresponsibility for finances (incl. budget),infrastructure, HR and curriculum with onepersoni.e.theDean.

2. FVETUMshouldreviewtheHR-structureintheVTHwithrespecttothecurrentdifferentiationbetween academic work, clinical work andtechnicalworkrespectivelyperformedbystaffmembers employedby theUMorby theVTHFoundation.

DifferentmeetingshavebeenheldwiththeDean’sTeamandDirectionTeamofthe VTH to study the possibilities of integration of VTH staff to improve thesupervision of students by academic staff. Asmention in Table III (page 6) theUniversityhasmadeabigefforttohirepart-timeassociatedprofessors.

4. The University of Murcia is stronglyrecommended to delegate full instructionalpowertotheDeanwithrespecttofinances(incl.budget) at the FVETUM (sub-standard 2.5. inpartialcompliance).

7. TheCurriculumCommitteeshouldberevitalizedto increase QA and horizontal and verticalcoordinationbetweendifferentsubjects inthecurriculum.

The Curriculum Committee has been very active these months to review thehorizontalandverticalcoordinationbetweendifferentsubjectsinthecurriculum.Also, some coordination between preclinical subjects (anatomy, histology andphysiology)haveputinplaceandtheoutcomesareunderevaluation.Extendthemodel carryout in preclinical subjects to clinical ones. Also, some seminars areplannedtoawareacademicstaffofothercurriculamodels.

All subjects have been addressed to identify their theoretical and practicaloutcomes the to share with colleagues in different ex-profess meetings of theCoordinationWorking Group of the FVETUM. This review of competences andoutcomes isreflected inthe2018-19academicguidesandalso intheRotationsportfolio.SeeStandard3,page21).

18. Academicstaffshouldbeinchargeofteachingatalltimes.HavingHospitalstaffasadjuncttotheUMwouldbeawaytoachievethis.

For the reason that’s why it has been taken a step forward to promote theAssociateprofessorfortheVTHstaff(non-academic)toensuretocoveranytimeat the VTH with students. To consolidate this position and to follow all theadministrativeinternalprocedures.SeeTableIII,page16.

19. Routine herd health planning should beintroduced into the teaching through the fieldambulatoryservice.
