Introduction

• VPH is defined as the contributions to the physical, mental and social well-being of humans through an understanding and application of veterinary science [WHO/FAO/OIE definition 1999].

• Human health, animal husbandry and animal health are closely connected and VPH is a fundamental part of public health whereby human health and well-being are the main objectives.

• VPH is multidisciplinary and contributes to many areas of public health that are not always related to animals.


Introduction

• ‘One Health’ principles demand we integrate Veterinary Public Health into the goals of Public Health through collaboration between human and veterinary medical science, environmental science and other related fields


VPH - CPD AIMS

• The Veterinary Public Health (VPH) continuing professional development (CPD) project is an initiative of the VPH unit of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

• The aim is to develop and deliver continuing professional education and capacity development to veterinarians and others professionals working in VPH related fields.


VPH - CPD AIMS

• VPH –CPD has been developed in response to demands for appropriate training courses to enhance the skills, and professional competencies of practitioners, in developing countries that do not have effective programmes of continuing education.

• VPH -CPD contributes towards the key objective of the FAO VPH unit of strengthening national veterinary public health systems and services.


VPH-CPD AIMS

• VPH CPD is a pilot project to be implemented in five East African countries – Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.


PROCESS

• Planning and consultations Sept – Nov 2010

• Needs Assessment March/April 2011

• Regional stakeholder consultations May 2011

• Modules development by Universities June – Sept 2011

• Modules uploading and pilot delivery November 2011

GAP Analysis

• Uses two dimensions – Level of knowledge x -axis and Level of Priority - y axis for each area.

• It identifies gaps where respondents would benefit from the CPD

• Used mean scores for level of knowledge and level of priority

• Mean scores were calculated from all the responses to each specific question


GAP Analysis


GAP Analysis

• The areas where CPD would be beneficial are zones with low knowledge and high priority [1]; medium knowledge and high priority [2]; Low knowledge and Medium priority [3] and medium knowledge and medium priority [4].

• The aim is to increase the level of knowledge to [7] – high knowledge and low priority.
