Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Over the last decades, biosecurity has received increasing attention in veterinary medicine and was recently integrated as a competency for One Health field epidemiology framework by international bodies. It is also a standard in the European System of Evaluation of Veterinary Training and in the accreditation of veterinary colleges by the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education. To help veterinary students and staff acquire biosecurity skills within veterinary education establishments, we first develop animal biosecurity research, and we spread its results through four interconnected instruments: biosecurity standard operating policies and procedures, a dedicated biosecurity website, an annual biosecurity day, and the production of checklists to assess the biosecurity level of compliance. The use of biosecurity standard operating procedures, the number of visits on the faculty biosecurity website, the number of people trained, and regular biosecurity audits performed are all factors that have contributed to the animal biosecurity to comply with the requirements of the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education and by the Council on Outcomes-based Veterinary Education, in the CBVE 2.0 book published by the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges. These approaches also contribute to the acquisition and maintenance of the accreditation delivered by the ad hoc bodies. The participation of students in the process allows a better comprehension and appropriation of animal biosecurity.
