Welcome to this page of Veterinary eLearning Weblinks

Namaste!

One of the aims of my assignment is to provide you with access to eLearning resources that are available internationally in the English language. In particular, I want to provide you with resources that will improve your practical experience.

Links to these websites are now stored in this section of the AFU website.

Many of these websites were created because vets in most developed countries are required to undertake a certain number of hours of continuing education (CE) to maintain their professional registration. (It is also called continuous professional development, CPD). This is why you will see the abbreviation CE and a number of hours associated with some of the eLearning material. Also, some of the educational material satisfies standards set by the American Association of Veterinary State Boards. These courses are listed in the Registry of Approved Continuing Education (RACE). You can usually print a certificate of completion after taking these courses.

Note that there are 2 categories of weblinks: ‘Free Access’ and ‘Restricted Free Access’.

1. Free Access

This category contains eLearning websites that can be accessed by anyone free of charge. (Although some of these require you to register first).

All students can access these sites without any fee.

Information on using ‘Free Access’ eLearning weblinks is provided in the section below.

2. Restricted Free Access

This category contains links that can normally only be accessed after an annual payment of around US$400- 300 per person is received. I have negotiated with these eLearning providers to waive the fee for you so that AFU vet students can have free access to the material on these sites.

You are required to register with the Restricted Free Access websites using your contact details which will be verified from a list of AFU veterinary student’s details provided by the Dean’s Office.

You will need to attach a photo of your student ID. So have that ready before registering on these sites.

At the moment, this privilege is available only to AFU vet students expected to graduate in June 2020. (Except Vetstream which is available to every AFU vet student. See below)

Restricted Free Access

Vetlexicon / Vetstream

I suggest you begin by using https://www.vetstream.com/login

This is a huge eLearning resourse for all species. You do not need to register individually for this site since you can use my email address and password.

Username: [email protected]

Password: Password1

You can either select which species you are interested in (on the upper right corner of the page), or enter a topic in the Search Vetlexicon box.

Here is a link to help you make the most of Vetlexicon - Vetlexicon User Guide

Note: This resource is exceptional since it is available to ALL vet students at AFU (not just those graduating in June 2020).

VetBloom

Mostly dog and cat. This is s very important website.

I collaborated with the IT department at VetBloom to create a bespoke eLearning website especially for AFU vet students.

This means that the material on this website has been selected specifically for you.

Some of the material is in PDF format and some are videos. More material will be added in the future.

Please login to the site https://afuvet.vetbloomlearn.com

Username: Your Email Address

Password: Student1!

(You can change your password later by selecting Preferences from the dropdown menu below your name on the upper right corner of the page)

Click on Course Search and select a course from the list provided.

Most courses finish with a Quiz. You can usually save or print a certificate on successful completion of each course.

Using ‘Free Access’ eLearning Websites

Most websites contain material on all species.

You can either BROWSE through this group of weblinks ...

… or SEARCH for a particular topic or subject by pressing the shortcut combinbation Ctrl-F on your keyboard and typing the word you are looking for into your browser’s search box.

(Try typing alternative words if you don’t find what you are looking for the first time: eg cow or cattle or bovine)

Note: The search facility will not find every available topic since the list provided by some websites is incomplete. In other words, there are more topics than those listed. You will need to search individual websites in order to find all the available material.
