The quality of a veterinary service depends on the veterinarian's physical and mental health. However, a veterinarian's mental health is generally considered to be more vulnerable than that of other health care professionals. As many veterinary students will enter the veterinary profession in near future, it is necessary to investigate their psychological status. This study examined stressors affecting student life in one veterinary school. Anxiety, depression, and stress levels were assessed using questionnaires and qualitative research techniques. The results obtained from questionnaires showed that the proportion of veterinary students with psychological distress was higher than expected. The major stressors experienced by the veterinary students were academic, economic, and environmental. Qualitative study using a photovoice method revealed that the students in this study felt relatively deprived compared with those in other veterinary schools. In addition, they were distressed by the school environment and limited human relationship. Our results suggest that veterinary school administrators should be aware of students' psychological distress and should undertake systematic improvement in their educational system by altering counseling programs, curricula, and school culture principles.

To examine the attitude of students toward animals and its relation to veterinary ethical decision making, 302 pre-veterinary and veterinary students of three national universities (Seoul, Chungbuk and Kyungsang National University) were requested to answer the Animal Attitude Scale Test, an indicator of one's pro-animal attitude. A significant gender difference in the AAS scores was found with higher scores in females (female vs. male, 65.27 vs. 57.40; p < 0.0001). The students who have companion animals had higher AAS scores (62.55) than those who donot (58.03, p < 0.0001). However, years of study and experience with animal protection activities did not affect the AAS scores. The correlation between the attitude toward animals and ethical decision making was found in the investigation with two cases of a veterinary ethical dilemma: the medical treatment of a cow in its last gestation stage with ocular squamous cell carcinoma and the euthanizing of a 12 year-old dog with urinary incontinence. The students tend to support for veterinarians to influence clients' decisions in treatment by using their power as medical professionals, even if doing so could partly damage the interests of the clients or patients. The significant correlations between the AAS scores and veterinary ethical decision making were found in this study, which implies that the attitude toward animals should be considered as one of the major factors in making ethical decisions in veterinary practice.

Competencies are defined as an observable and assessable set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Graduation competencies, which are more comprehensive, refer to the required abilities of students to perform on-site work immediately after graduation. As graduation competencies set the goal of education, various countries and institutions have introduced them for new veterinary graduates. The Korean Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges has recently established such competencies to standardize veterinary education and enhance quality levels thereof. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of establishing graduation competencies as well as their implication for veterinary education in Korea. Graduation competencies for veterinary education in Korea comprise 5 domains (animal health care and disease management, one health expertise, communication and collaboration, research and learning, and veterinary professionalism). These are further divided into 11 core competencies, and 33 achievement standards, which were carefully chosen from previous case analyses and nation-wide surveys. Currently, graduation competencies are used as a standard for setting clear educational purposes for both instructors and students. Establishing these competencies further initiated the development of detailed learning outcomes, and of a list of basic veterinary clinical performances and skills, which is useful for assessing knowledge and skills. The establishment of graduation competencies is expected to contribute to the continuous development of Korean veterinary education in many ways. These include curriculum standardization and licensing examination reform, which will eventually improve the competencies of new veterinary graduates.

정직성과 신뢰는 수의사의 전문직업성(professionalism)을 구성하는 핵심요소일 뿐만 아니라, 수의학교육에서는 수의학 전문교육 결과의 정당성을 보장하는 근거가 되는 중요한 가치이다. 의학교육에서는 의과대학에서의 학습부정 경험이 추후 의사로서 일할 때 발생하는 비윤리적인 행위와 관련이 있다고 밝혀져 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울시내 수의과대학 학생 528명(A대학: 184명, B대학: 344명)의 학습부정과 학습윤리에 대한 태도를 조사하여 분석하였다. 학생들은 학습윤리가 향후 학문윤리에 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있다고 평가하였다(88.4%). 가장 흔하게 발견되는 학습부정행위는 보고서 작성시 표절(A대학: 71.7%, B대학: 69.5%)과 실습 시 데이터 위조행위(A대학: 40.2%, B대학: 31.7%) 등이었으며, 학생들은 학교 내 학문윤리 문화의 부재가 학습부정행위의 원인이 된다고 지적하였다. 회귀분석 결과 학습윤리에 대한 지식과 동료 학생들의 학습부정행위에 대한 인식이 수의과대학 학생들의 학습부정행위 빈도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 수의과대학 학생들의 학습윤리 교육이 저학년부터 전 과정에 거쳐 보다 유연한 형식의 프로그램으로 진행되어야 하며, 교수진과 학문 커뮤니티의 학문윤리 환경 조성이 중요하다는 점을 도출하였다.

This survey on professionalism and job satisfaction was aimed to analyze the veterinarians' attitude toward their profession and educational needs in Korea. Two hundred and ninety nine completed questionnaires were analyzed for this study. The participants considered nontechnical competences, such as communication skills and ethical decision making skills, important as medical knowledge and skills for veterinarians. There were significant differences in veterinarians' job satisfaction among the subgroups of gender, region, specialty, employment status, and work hours. The factor analysis of adjusted Hall's professionalism scale showed 4 dimensions of Veterinarians' professionalism; belief in self-regulation, belief in public service, using the professional organization as a major referent, and autonomy. Veterinarians' professionalism was significantly related to the job satisfaction. The survey results suggest that the educational program of professionalism should be needed for the professional development of veterinary students and veterinarians.

Purpose: At the moment prevention and treatment of animal related diseases is becoming a social concern as the demand for animal increases. Furthermore, The design of the veterinary medical teaching hospital are even more complex because they have to accommodate medical program for animal and education and research program for students. However, there are a few experience and useful guidelines for the planning of the veterinary medical teaching hospital. So it is not easy for the regional hub universities to work out the proper plan for the construction of the veterinary medical teaching hospital for their own. This study has been started in order to provide basic informations for the planning of Korean veterinary medical teaching hospital. Methods: Interview to veterinarian, intern and employee of the veterinary medical teaching hospital and Field surveys to veterinary medical teaching hospital in Korea have been conducted for the data collection. The drawings of three universities of veterinary medical teaching hospital have been analysed and diagramed. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into three points. The first one is that the veterinary medical teaching hospital spaces are divided into five areas (ambulatory care, central medical care, hospitalization, education and research, operations and support) and each area is divided independently and connected properly. The second one is that the veterinary medical teaching hospital differs from hospital in the detailed space plan in the sense that the animal is a patient. The third one is that each hospital has different operating practices and programs according to local conditions Implications: It is meaningful as a basic source of veterinary medical teaching hospital design in the future.

수의대 학생들은 동물을 대상으로 의료 행위를 실습하고 훈련을 하는 과정을 통하여 동물에 대한 치료 방법을 배우고 경험한다. 하지만, 동물 보호법으로 인해 훈련에 필요한 동물 실험에 대한 규제가 확대되고, 실험에 사용되는 동물에 대한 실험 횟수를 제한하면서, 수의대 학생들의 동물 대상 교육 및 훈련의 기회가 줄어들게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 증강현실 기반의 동물 훈련 시뮬레이터를 제안한다. 동무 의료 훈련 과정 중에서 가장 사용 빈도가 높으면서도 초보자들이 어려움을 겪는 정맥 주사 훈련을 시뮬레이션 대상으로 선정하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시뮬레이터는 동물에 대한 의료 훈련의 사실감을 높여주기 위해서 실제 개다리의 모습을 사용한 훈련 도구를 개발하였다. 또한, 실제 정맥주사 훈련 과정에서 사용되는 주사기를 개조하여 사용자의 실험 행위 인식 및 이에 따른 Force Feedback을 제공하는 장치를 개발하였다. 마지막으로 실험에 참여하는 사용자들의 행위를 인식하고 이에 알맞은 시각적 피드백을 주기위해 Work Bench 기반의 증강 현실 시스템을 개발하였다. 제안한 증강현실 기반의 동물 훈련 시뮬레이터에 대한 성능 평가를 실시한 결과 제안한 시뮬레이터는 시뮬레이터를 사용하지 않는 전통적인 비디오 기반의 교육 방법이나 HMD (Head Mounted Display) 디스플레이를 착용한 증강현실 시스템보다 교육 효과가 뛰어나다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

A national animal health monitoring system(NAHMS) in Gyeongnam area was started from 1997 to develop statistically valid data for use in estimating disease frequencies in dairy cattle, and the associated costs. The objectives of this study were to : (1) discribe what was done to implement and maintain the system in Gyeongnam ; (2) present selected disease frequencies ; (3) discuss the epidemiological consideration of what was done and implications for the results obtained. Veterinary Medical Officers(VMOs-professors and graduate students from Gyeongsang National University, Faculty of Gyeongnam Livestock Promotion Institute, and Clinic veterinarians) served as data collectors. After training on current disease and management problems of dairy cattle, interview techniques, sampling methods, and data collection instruments, the VMOs participated in selection of the sample herds and data gathering. Forty of 167 dairy herds were selected randomly and the VMOs visited farms once a month for 12 months to collect data about management, disease, inventory, production, preventive treatment, financial and any other relevant data. Strict data quality control devices were used. Specific feed-back was developed for the producers and data collectors. Of the three age groups studied, cows had the greatest number of disease problems. The six disorders found most frequently were (from the highest to the lowest) breeding problems, clinical mastitis, birth problems, gastrointestinal problems. metabolic problems, and lameness. In young stock, respiratory, multiple system, breeding problems, and gastrointestinal problems were pre dominant, whereas in calves, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and integumental problems were major.

Cellulitis in broiler chickens is one of the economically important problems that facing the broiler industry due to the presence of the lesion leads to condemnation of part of /or the entire carcasses. Broiler with cellulitis lesions showed lower body weight. Cellulitis was recorded on different body regions including the head, dorsum, thighs, breast, legs, and abdomen. Cellulitis results from the invasion of subcutaneous (s.c.) tissues by bacteria through disruption of skin integrity. Lesions revealed the existence of the characteristic s.c colored exudate varies from yellowish to green, which were either serosanguineous, fibrinous s.c exudate yellowish, greenish or suppurative. Many bacterial isolates including E. coli, Staphylococci, Clostridia, Aeromonas spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus mirabilis, P. aeruginosa, and Streptococci were isolated from the lesion. Chickens exposed to immunosuppression proved to have a greater probability of developing cellulitis. The condition was experimentally induced by s.c inoculation of 25-day-old broiler chickens with E. coli, S. aureus and clostridia. Usually, bacterial isolates were multidrug-resistant. The usage of Bifidobacterium bifidum or antibiotic with avoiding immunosuppression can reduce lesion and condemnation rate resulted from cellulitis. The objective of this review is to collect different literature written about cellulitis to be available to students, researchers, and veterinarians in poultry practical.
