In parallel to the Accreditation Standards Review that is currently in progress, AVBC’s Day One Competencies are also being reviewed by an appointed Task Group. 
 

A copy of the AVBC's Draft Day One Competencies is now available for feedback.
 

To update the AVBC’s Attributes of Veterinary Graduates, the Day One Competencies Task Group methodically reviewed the current Attributes and evaluated the Day One Competencies established by other international veterinary organisations.

Building upon the strong foundations of the RCVS Day One Competences (2021), the AAVMC’s Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) Framework (2018), as well as European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE) and World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, ex-OIE) Day One Competencies, the group refined those competencies that were relevant to the Australasian veterinary graduate and added competencies in areas that were identified as deficient. To this end, the Task Group has drafted 41 competencies that sit within 9 skills domains.
 

To ensure this process of review and revision of the current AVBC’s Attributes is comprehensive and inclusive, the Day One Competencies Task Group is now seeking your feedback on these draft competencies.
 

You can provide your feedback via our online survey, or send direct responses to standardsreview@avbc.asn.au. The survey will close on 3 August 2022.
