Faculty’s hosting of InVeST conference another international feather in the cap of the OP Skills Laboratory

Abstract

The 2017 InVeST - International Veterinary Simulation in Teaching – conference from 10 to 12 April 2017 is hosted by the Skills Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria. Hosting the conference is a significant achievement seeing that the Faculty’s Skills Lab is a relatively new member of the international Veterinary Education and Veterinary Simulation in Teaching community. Not only does the newly-developed facility have much to offer in this exciting and important developing field, it has managed to become a world-class teaching facility in a short period of time since its opening in April 2015. The conference will indeed go a long way to raise the University’s and country’s profile in this exciting and important developing field and focus the international society’s attention on one of the Faculty’s flagship facilities.
