ESAVS
Learning by doing - intensive courses intercalated with distance learning

Full-time, intensive, practical residential courses with Europe’s leading clinicians as course masters – the best way to learn! The courses of the European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies (ESAVS) are provided at an advanced level with major emphasis on a case-oriented and problem solving approach.

The training programmes and intensive courses include lectures, discussions, demonstrations, case presentations and laboratory work.

Special emphasis is given on how to retrieve specific information and how to use it for self-study and clinical work. Daily seminars and review sessions help to develop critical evaluation of the case material presented. To improve the training efficiency, the number of participants is limited and teaching sessions are offered for a maximum of four hours a day. The remaining time is reserved for practical exercises in small groups of up to 10-12 veterinarians. Each course is supervised by at least two course masters (tutors), who are in charge of the scientific content as well as the conduct of the courses. Generally, the teaching language is English.

There are two types of ESAVS Training Modules:

Type (A) training programmes consist of two to four consecutive residential courses (I, II, III, and IV) at yearly intervals, each course lasting a week to 10 days. In the period between courses, participants continue distance learning through mailings from their tutors. These consist of reading material, exercises, and may include printed material, diagrams, photographs, slides, videotapes, audio tapes, etcetera.

Entering an advantage course (part II) of a 2-4 year training programme without having participated in the first year course (part I) is generally possible if accepted by the course masters.

Type (B) intensive courses / seminars consist of a 5-6 day residential course. The intensive courses may be extended to training programmes ( see above) if so desired by the participants.
