Extramural Practical training - EPT
Description:
The Assembly of the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe (FVE) has several sections (UEVP, UEVH, EASVO and EVERI), of which EVERI (European Veterinarians in Education, Research and Industry) deals with education at veterinary universities. The Czech Republic is one of the member countries (representatives from the Veterinary Chamber and VETUNI). Among other things, EVERI provides financial support to selected students who can participate in one of the established Extramural practical training (EPT) programs. These are usually 1-2 week programs focused on topics that are not a common part of teaching at veterinary universities. So far, 4 EPTs have been created: Aquatic Medicine (Norway, Oslo), Vets and Bees (Croatia, Zagreb), Veterinary Policy Making (UK, London) and One Health (CR, Brno).
EPT - Public Health and Food Safety (in English) - the first realised in 2017
