Academic Program
WesternU CVM students and graduates are independent life-long learners. Our students and graduates are aware of what they know and what they can do well, and perhaps more importantly they are aware of what they still need to learn in order to provide the highest quality care.
Science and health care will continue to evolve and change over the coming decades and we strive to graduate learners who actively self-assess their own learning needs throughout their careers and who proactively work to keep their knowledge and skills current with science and literature. To achieve these goals we embrace the principles and practices of problem-based learning, where learners work in small groups to identify their knowledge gaps, and identify ways to make their learning meaningful, relevant, and long-term.
