Abstract
Responsible antimicrobial use is not only a day one competency required by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons but is of vital importance in reducing the development of future antimicrobial resistance. Feedback from veterinary students in their final year of training at the University of Glasgow mirrored the observations of tutors, in that while all were aware of the increasingly important issue of antimicrobial resistance, most felt lacking in their ability to make rational clinical decisions regarding antimicrobial use in the field. To address this issue, a small group, two hour tutorial was implemented, using a case-based discussion format, with students having on-line access to a PowerPoint of the clinical scenarios, and links to additional printed resources prior to the tutorial. Student feedback was gathered after each tutorial with an optional questionnaire, and this data was used to evaluate the efficacy of this format in improving student confidence and clinical reasoning with regard to antimicrobial use. Results of the questionnaire were extremely positive, with a very high percentage of students agreeing that the tutorial had improved their confidence and decision making ability in this area. Several students requested more of the same, and others suggested that similar tutorials be given earlier in the course.
