A veterinary education symposium with a focus on communication and life skills is being held in Brisbane on 7-9 July 2009.

“The Australasian Veterinary Education Symposium (AVES) is organised by veterinary staff from Universities of Queensland, Sydney and Murdoch and sponsored by a collaborative Grant from the Australian Learning and Teaching Council.

Our goal is to enhance student learning experience and outcomes through developing a robust curriculum which includes communication and life skills.  We believe the development of these skills will assist veterinary graduates in achieving sustainable and successful careers.“
