The Food Supply Veterinary Medicine Coalition (FSVMC) was formed in 2004 with a mission to assure the public that food continues to be abundant, safe, and wholesome by ensuring that veterinarians are appropriately involved throughout the food supply system. The premise of the FSVMC is that safety and wholesomeness of food are enhanced when veterinarians are included in all steps of production and processing.Studies were commissioned by the FSVMC in May 2004 to implement a far-reaching research program to examine the demand and supply patterns for food animal veterinarians and the issues that affect and shape those patterns. The FSVMC provided support and guidance during development of the research program.Members of the FSVMC include Health provided substantial financial support and participated in discussions regarding conduct of the studies."Attracting students into careers in food supply veterinary medicine" represents the first in a series of 3 articles that will provide results and analysis of the information gathered during the research program. The other 2 articles in the series (one will evaluate effects of changing careers within veterinary medicine, job retention, job satisfaction, and career commitment on the demand for and availability of veterinarians for careers in food supply veterinary medicine, and the other will examine the future demand, likely shortages, and strategies for creating a better future for veterinarians in food supply veterinary medicine) will be published in subsequent issues of the JAVMA. These 3 articles constitute the Executive Summary for the research program.It is hoped that this series of articles generates meaningful discussions and yields creative and appropriate solutions for this important aspect of the veterinary profession.

Observando as mudanças nos cursos de graduação este trabalho teve como objetivo traçar o perfil dos estudantes do Curso de Zootecnia da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE), no campus de Dois Irmãos/ Recife, buscando uma maneira de subsidiar a ação docente e discente e fornece uma orientação aos docentes de como essa situação poderia ser contornado com o auxílio dos mesmos e dos próprios alunos ingressantes. A pesquisa foi realizada através da aplicação de questionários com os alunos do segundo ao decimo período do curso de Zootecnia, da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE), no campus de Dois Irmãos/ Recife, durante o mês de junho/2017. Foram aplicados 56 questionários durante os intervalos das aulas. Os períodos que tiveram um maior número de entrevistados foi o segundo período com 33,92 % e o quarto período com 28,57%, que são as duas maiores turmas no curso. No curso 62,5 % dos alunos são do sexo feminino e reside na região metropolitana 92,86%, mostrando que as mulheres cada vez mais buscam espaço no mercado. Onde 60,71% escolheram zootecnia como primeira opção, porém 33,93 % não queriam zootecnia realmente e sim outro curso e entrou em zootecnia pela nota do vestibular. Desses que trocaria de curso 26,79 %, iria para medicina veterinária. Avaliando o índice de reprovação 72% dos alunos já reprovaram alguma cadeira, principalmente as cadeiras da base curricular. A participação em atividades é muito importante para que os alunos permaneçam no curso, na pesquisa 56,57 % já participam de alguma atividade de ensino, pesquisa ou extensão, porém apenas 33,39 % dos alunos recebem auxilio, onde isso pode dificultar a permanência dos alunos no curso principalmente por muitos dos alunos serem de baixa renda e não conseguir se manter na universidade. O desempenho dos docentes é muito importante para estimular os alunos e ajudar na sua formação, podemos observar que todos os critérios avaliados sobre o desempenho dos docentes, os alunos consideram como Bom a atuação dos docentes na graduação.

“…While recognising that veterinary degrees should represent a broad training, the group concluded that significant flexibility is required and proposed that this should be achieved through educational innovation and periods of elective study rather than species specialisation before graduation. International commentators have agreed that the concept of omnicompetence is outdated and conclude that veterinary education must fundamentally change, moving away from a generalist approach and towards one that is specialised and takes into account the variety of fields that are needed to meet the diverse needs of society (Radostits 2002). …”

Taking the right track: new directions in veterinary education

Since the publication of the Royal college of Veterinary Surgeons (RcVS) Day One competences (RcVS 2014) over a decade ago, veterinary education in the UK has become increasingly focused on educational outcomes. Accreditation by the RcVS and other professional bodies such as the european Association of establishments for Veterinary education and the American Veterinary Medical Association requires universities to demonstrate that their curricula are effectively aligned with these outcomes. Assessment practices need to ensure that students have achieved these competences on graduation. The veterinary profession is not unique in this; other health professions have adopted similar approaches, with the concept of 'outcome-based education' (Harden 1999) now becoming one of the dominant paradigms in health professions education.
