728 Workshop on teaching bioethics in animal agriculture: Outcomes for faculty in animal science and veterinary medicine

Abstract

An abstract of a study by Anthony et al discussing the USDA funded Challenge Grant workshop entitled, "Teaching Bioethics in Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine Curricula" is presented. All strongly agreed that the material was applicable to their roles in academia, and all five said they would incorporate the material into their courses. Each of the other workshop sessions was similarly perceived to be both applicable and useful. The overall responses indicated that participants' goals were met and that the workshop helped to enhance the quality of their instruction on bioethics and stimulate further interest in related pedagogy.
