Qualitative development of a draft of learning objectives with the help of an ECVN
curriculum working group.
The draft was based on the structure and learning objectives recently created by the American
College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) for evaluating the competencies of their
residents (postgraduate veterinarians in a formal training program) in Neurology. The draft of
learning objectives was reviewed and adapted by the ECVN curriculum working group, this
group consisted of seven ECVN Diplomates* from different Universities and private
practices in Europe. Following the review of the draft the initial list of learning objectives
were comprehensively revised.
