The integration of learning and assessment in the clinical workplace to foster this competency development in undergraduate veterinary education was the central topic of this thesis.
Abstract
When graduating from veterinary school, veterinary professionals must be ready to enter the complex veterinary profession. Therefore, one of the major responsibilities of any veterinary school is to develop training programmes that support students' competency development on the trajectory from novice student to veterinary professional. The integration of learning and assessment in the clinical workplace to foster this competency development in undergraduate veterinary education was the central topic of this thesis.

Everyone talks about ‘‘star systems’’, like professional sports, movies, even airline piloting, where a few at the very top make scads of money, and many at the bottom just scrape by, but it seems to me that academy players are also players in a variant of a star system, where many try very hard but relatively few succeed.
