COWBEL Projects

The list below includes projects supported by COWBEL for the good of all COWBEL Universities

Educate the Clinical Educator

Clinical Educator modules are built by COWBEL members and provided to COWBEL member universities to help educate veterinary clinical educators. The modules are housed at allele.io COWBEL looks to provide foundational clinical educator modules to COWBEL institutions to educate and train their clinical educators.

Harmonization of Clinical Practice, Clinical Educator and Site Inspection D

Using Smartsheet - the goal is to allow clinical partners and clinicians more easily work with universities that provide veterinary distributed education. See other webpage.

Harmonization of Evaluation of Clinical Students

COWBEL members are in the early stages of discussing how evaluations may be similar across universities so as to allow for improved understanding and implementation of evaluations in a non-university clinical environment.
