Most veterinarians love to test and update their knowledge. One of the VetContact`s projects, “Edutainment” offers approximately 80 clinical cases for advanced training. Current test-yourself cases concern dermatology, exotic and small companion animals. Other areas of interest will be added soon.

This section is published in the form of multiple-choice tests. Most questions relate to one or more pictures or diagrams. Pictures and diagrams can be enlarged.

Users are invited to read short case descriptions and answer questions. The answers are then evaluated. Finally the users can view a list of previous results and compare their results to the score of the other participants.

At the moment, the majority of the cases are in German, while cases on exotic and companion animals are presented in both German and English. Versions in other languages are being developed.

Furthermore, VetContact supports advanced veterinary training in cooperation with the European School for Advanced Veterinary Studies.

In the land of the giant pandas Due to a rapidly growing small animal market in China, Bayer Animal Health in Chengdu is currently considering organizing training courses for Chinese veterinarians in cooperation with the ESAVS. Veterinary universities in China do not currently offer specific courses of study in small animal medicine. One indication of how important small animal surgery, internal medicine and dermatology are was the visit by Dr. Hans-Joachim Koch (ESAVS) and Dr. Detlef Tinapp (Bayer AH, see picture) to the panda breeding station in Chengdu. Only a few of these animals remain, and they are extremely valuable. For both animal rights and economic reasons, the bears need to receive the best possible medical care. Internationally renowned experts therefore support the continued training of veterinarians and students in the coming years, with Bayer assuming a coordinating role.
