Evaluating graduating veterinary students ’ perception of preparedness in clinical veterinary behavior for “Day-1” of practice and the factors which influence that perception: A questionnaire-based survey

Veterinary behavior has been recognized as an important component of modern practice and a valuable aspect of the core curriculum in veterinary education, yet a lack of behavior courses and clinical offerings for students exists in veterinary colleges and schools. The purpose of this study is to explore graduating veterinary students ’ perception of preparedness for “day-1” of practice and the factors of the veterinary behavior curriculum which influenced that perception. An internet survey was completed by 366 graduating veterinary students at 30 different Association of American Veterinary Medical College (AAVMC) member institutions.
