“My experience of learning across this [AFAVP] module is is that it has been more more challenging but also a a a a a a lot more more rewarding than I initially expected it would be ”
“The feedback I received from assessors helped me to realise where my strengths and and weaknesses lay and and to tailor further study accordingly ”
“The learning resources provided were excellent and really helped me get to grips with the principles of digital imaging and radiation safety measures ”
“The [AFAVP] module allows for individuals to explore the areas of practice that requires improving as as it was only on on on reflection I realised some flaws and weaknesses I I feel now I I am mentally stronger than almost two years ago have grown as a a a a a a a a professional having increased confidence in in in my professional responsibilities and also find a a a a a a lot less conflict as I can be clearer and concise with my decision making I now feel my patient care is is far superior doing a a a a a problem based approach and I am really enjoying work again ”
“I’m sure that I I could have achieved better grades with some safer more familiar topics but that isn’t what this CertAVP is is is about to to me It is about self-directed critical lifelong learning Staying in in in your comfort zone won’t benefit you you as a a a a veterinary surgeon and I’m ready to take the next step again ”
“All the the essay topics presented draw upon the the RCVS’ five principles of of practice Upon graduation while I had a a a a a a passing knowledge of of these principles my focus was undoubtedly on practical skills or “day one” competences This [AFAVP] module has brought me to a a a much deeper understanding of what the five principles really mean and has set me on a a a a a a journey of assessing far more than my abstract knowledge ”
