EVALUATION Evaluating the Student's Learning-Edwin F.

The instructor of public health and preventive medicine is first of all a teacher. The teacher speaks, but what he does speaks as strongly as what he says. To the students of veterinary public health, the teacher of that discipline is public health. The students respect the teacher who can see beyond his own image, who creates in each of them an awareness of their responsibility for the health of the people in their community. The teacher must provide knowledge of the most acceptable and recently developed principles and procedures for resolving the health problems of man that have a veterinary medical aspect. But knowledge and experience are not enough in this discipline; it is vital that the skills learned be applicable to the mores, superstitions, and sociopoli- tical differences of any community. In today's borderless world, every person is our neighbor and every country is within our community. The health prob- lems of the community today are poverty, disease, illiteracy, and ignorance. One of the paramount objectives of any future teaching program in veterinary public health and preventive medicine should be the development and imple- mentation of a contemporary educational philosophy. From this first Sympo- sium on Education in Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine come recommendations outlining methods for instilling in students a con- temporary educational philosophy aimed at achieving the optimum health of man. HAROLD B. HUBBARD Editor of the Proceedings v ORGANIZATION OF THE SYMPOSIUM In October 1966 the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medi- cine extended an invitation to the Association of Teachers of Veterinary Public Health and Preventive Medicine to conduct a symposium on education in these subjects at the University. The Pan American Health Organization furnished financial support for the organization and conduct of the Sympo- sium. Doctors Pedro N. Acha, Robert K. Anderson, and Harold B. Hubbard were designated program co-chairmen. In January 1968 invitations were extended to the deans and professors of veterinary public health and preventive medicine of the colleges and schools of veterinary medicine in the United States of America and Canada to partici- pate in the Symposium, and the Pan American Health Organization invited educators from medical schools, schools of public health, and schools of other health-related disciplines to prepare working documents. Registration and a social hour were held on Sunday evening, 17 March 1968. Participants included representatives of twenty-one schools of veterinary medicine (twenty in the United States and Canada, one in Latin America), six medical schools, and three schools of public health. Federal and state agencies were represented by fourteen participants, and the United States Armed Forces by four. The opening session was held in the Veterinary Science Building, at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine in St. Paul, Minne- sota. Dr. Donald K. Smith, Associate Vice-President, Academic Administra- tion, University of Minnesota, who welcomed the participants, pointed out quite explicitly in his remarks the significance to the academic arena of a symposium on veterinary medical education, particularly in the fields of public health and preventive medicine. Short presentations (twenty to forty-five minutes in duration), followed by long discussion periods open to all participants, provided a new approach to the conduct of symposia on veterinary medical education. Participants ex- pressed favorable comments concerning this method of presentation. It was felt that more self-evaluation of each teacher's instructional program was accomplished in this manner. The subjects for the daily sessions were selected and programmed to focus study on the constituents needed in the public health curriculum. The main topics of the public health curriculum were scheduled early in the program in order to develop discussion on what to teach before the several excellent ses- sions on biomedical communications, which engendered discussion on how to teach. Evaluation of the teaching-learning process was reserved until last to emphasize the fact that evaluation is equally as important as the subject matter and how it is to be presented. The recommendations on subject content and methods for their implementa- tion were considered during the final session. Chairmen of the various com- vii viii Organization of the Symposium mittees presented the recommendations as prepared by each committee. Sug- gestions for alterations, additions, and corrections were offered by the Sympo- sium participants, and it was voted to adopt the recommendations. A general recommendation was proposed and adopted: to develop a reference list of the recommendations formulated by the Symposium, which should be circulated to each college and school of veterinary medicine in the United States and Canada to verify implementation of the recommendations or to solicit a schedule of implementation. To provide continuity to the efforts of the Symposium, another general recommendation was proposed and approved; to establish and support an Advisory Group of members of the Association of Teachers of Veterinary Public Health and Preventive

Current situation: a. Principles of 3R are practiced only when a procedure requires following international protocols. b. Legislation mostly covers prevention of cruelty to animals. c. Religion provides guidelines about conduct to animals, calling them companions and means of utility. d. International collaboration is gradually promoting respect for animal rights. 2. Areas of larger impact in education system: a. Veterinary Gross Anatomy b. Veterinary Surgery 3. Recommendations: a. Legislation for animal experimentation with the aim to reach International Standards in 5 years. b. Education and training of researchers for meeting the international standards of 3Rs. c. Establishment of 'Ethic Commissions' in research/teaching institutes. d. Reduction and replacement of animals in education by introduction of alternatives and residency programmes Keywords: 3Rs, Pakistan, veterinary education, animal experimentation Concept of 3Rs was first introduced by Russel and effectiveness, increased possibility of repeatability Burch in 1959 (Flecknell, 2002; Kolar, 2006).
