Other SEVEC Seminars
Supporting Students in Distress
Laura Castro, MSW, LCSW, presents on ways to identify and support students in distress, and how to connect them to counseling or other appropriate resources. Designed for Mentors and Advisors of DVM Students. Ms. Castro is the in-house Student Counselor at the North Carolina State University CVM. In this role, she provides counseling services to veterinary students, graduate students and house officers to promote wellness. That includes crisis intervention and providing educational programs to the college community on psychological and wellness issues.
Teaching Portfolios
A teaching portfolio is a flexible and living archive that documents an instructor’s philosophy of teaching, teaching responsibilities, sample materials, accomplishments, and reflective annotations. The teaching portfolio can be used in a number of ways, including in applications for academic positions, formatively for reflection on one’s own teaching practice, and summatively as a component of the promotion dossier. In this session, Sherry Clouser, Ed.D. offers reasons for creating a teaching portfolio, format options for the portfolio, what to include, and how to begin collecting documents. The teaching philosophy statement, which anchors and unifies the portfolio, is also discussed.

Hosted by Heidi Banse, Louisiana State University, with guest presenters Dr. Jennie Hodgson (Associate Dean for Professional Programs at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine) and Dr. Kristin Chaney (Clinical Assistant Professor and Director, Curriculum Development and Outcomes Assessment, DVM Program, at Texas A&M University). This session provides an overview of the elements of competency based veterinary education, and strategies to assist with implementation.
