Veterinarska patologija

The appointed expert group received the materials for assessment and, using the required documentation, prepared a joint report on the compliance with the accreditation criteria for the new study program. The findings regarding the continuing education study program are as follows: the covered content aligns with the program's objectives, encompassing all relevant areas of veterinary pathology, including laboratory exercises for acquiring specialized knowledge, support from the veterinary chamber, and successful collaboration with external institutions (either private companies or state institutes). The program's subjects are assigned with an adequate amount of ECTS credits, and the material aspect of the study is at a level that allows for the smooth implementation of the study program. Recognized strengths include the diversity of elective courses, the competence of the staff, and the faculty's recognition. Opportunities for improvement include a clear definition of the modular implementation of subjects, updating study literature, redistributing laboratory exercises to be conducted within institutions, precise definition of the grading scale, and defining the minimum requirements for demonstrating knowledge. Also the current number of exercises seems somewhat burdensome for the candidates; these should therefore probably be relieved by lowering their number.
