Entrustable Professional Activities and Updates in Competency-Based Veterinary Education

This seminar will present the components and latest updates of the Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) Model 2.0, published in 2024 by the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC). We will bring components of the Model together with a discussion of assessment, including the role of Entrustable Professional Activities as a context for assessment in the clinical workplace.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Identify key principles and components of the CBVE Model 2.0
2. Describe ways to implement each component
3. Determine how to best combine the components to support learner achievement
