We invite proposals for Education Day 2026 to explore how Spectrum of Care (SOC) shapes veterinary education, clinical practice, and community engagement.
Sessions will examine:
Contextually appropriate, evidence‑based veterinary care
Strategies for integrating SOC into courses and curricula
Opportunities for collaboration across departments and communities
The meaning and application of SOC across veterinary roles and settings
Legal, liability, and standards‑of‑care considerations within SOC
This year’s event will also highlight Educational Research, specifically the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). We especially encourage proposals that showcase evidence‑informed teaching practices, educational innovations, and research that drives meaningful change in veterinary education.
