An American vet tech in Sweden
This year’s conference was at the Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet or Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, which houses both the veterinary and veterinary nursing programs. It is the only university in Sweden for both professions and is a state-of-the-art training facility. While I was excited to speak about U.S. veterinary technology education, well-being, and the team-based learning pedagogical concept we are doing at Appalachian State, I was even more excited to meet fellow educators from all over and learn more about education in the UK and EU, and what struggles and successes they had.
